This study was conducted to compare and analyse work-related injuries, physical and mental health status of nurses according to working environment. The subjects were 192 nurses working at a university hospital in Seoul. After analyzing each categories of health status by working environment and work-related injuries, meaningful differences were found physical and mental health status. And shift work was significantly related to work-related injuries compared to non-shift work. In addition, it was confirmed that nurses have negative influences from night work in physical and mental health compared to other work pattern. Thus, it would be necessary to improve working system with considering their health problems caused by working environment and work-related injuries. And we will have to be a study for effective night work and additional support for night workers.

The purposes of this thesis are to grasp the aspect of injuries by violence which is the recent social issue, analyze the relationship with socioeconomic factors and provide it as the basic material of policy development and prevention. With the specimen in-depth investigation materials of injured patients of emergency room which is injuries examination system based on medical institution, this thesis compared injuries by violence with aspect of other injuries and conducted logistic regression analysis after controlling gender, age, educational level and occupation mutually. Women showed more danger to be exposed to injuries by violence than men. The less the age was, the more danger by violence was. The more academic background was, the less rate to be exposed to violence was. For occupations, there were dangerous in order of service workers, shop and market sales workers, unemployed, elementary occupations. In conclusion, Some differences of socioeconomic factors made an effect on the danger of injuries by violence victim.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the occupational injuries experienced by operating room nurses and investigate the relationship between these injuries and safety climate. Methods: The study involved 198 operating room nurses working in general and tertiary hospitals with more than 300 beds. Results: Among the four sub-factors of occupational injuries experienced by operating room nurses, risks due to ergonomic hazards were the most prevalent and those due to physical hazards were the least. The scores related to occupational injury showed a significantly negative correlation with the safety climate. Conclusions: The findings indicate that higher operating room nurses' awareness of the safety climate is associated with lower rates of occupational injury. Therefore, organizational efforts and interventions are imperative to improve the safety climate within hospitals. Additionally, in order to investigate the safety of operating room nurses more in-depth, it is necessary to expand not only the sample size but also the geographic scope.

Phenothiazine의 직업적 노출기준(TLV-TWA)은 $5mg/m^3$으로 권고되었다. TLV-TWA의 수준은 피부자극과 변색, 각막염 그리고 태양광에 직접 노출되었을 때 나타나는 광감작반응의 가능성을 최소화하기 위해 설정되었다. 고용량의 phenothiazine을 경구 투여하면 간과 신장이 손상되며 용혈성의 빈혈이 발생한다. Phenothiazine의 피부흡수에 의한 전신 독성이 증명되어 피부흡수 "Skin" 경고주석을 권고하였다. 감작제(SEN)와 발암성 경고주석 그리고 TLV-STEL을 설정하기에는 유용한 자료가 부족하다.

사람의 건강과 생명은 가장 중요한 가치다. 직업병으로 인한 손상 후 치료하기보다는 발생하지 않도록 예방하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 직업성 급성중독을 예방하고 관리하기 위한 감시체계가 전국적으로 확대되고 보다 세밀해질 필요가 있다.

Dental professionals are exposed to various occupational risks, among which the problem of hearing damage has been newly revealed. There have been some researches reporting that noise occurring in a dental office exceeds the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Standards. Especially, the pediatric dentists are repeatedly exposed to an additional noise source called the crying sound of children in addition to all kinds of noises from dental instruments. Accordingly, this study intended to investigate the noise environment likely to affect pediatric dentists and to examine the possibility of resultant hearing damages. The level of noise was measured respectively, when various dental instruments (ultrasonic scaler, high-speed handpiece, low-speed handpiece) are operated, when children are crying, and when both occasions take place simultaneously (from the distance of 30 cm) with a portable noise meter. And the daily duration of pediatric dentists exposed to the noise environment was surveyed. The results were compared with the standard value of noise threshold of NIOSH, OSHA, and that of hearing damage of CRA News letter respectively. Considering the intensity and exposure time, the noise environment of pediatric dentists exceeds the allowable noise threshold values. Even only one exposure to crying child was likely to lead to permanent hearing damage. Comparatively, pediatric dentists have a higher risk for occupational hearing damages, and some active measures are thought highly desirable to minimize it.

펜타클로로나프탈렌(Pentachloronaphthalene)의 직업적 노출기준은 0.5 $mg/m^3$으로 권고하였으며 이 수준은 염화물 형태의 간 손상과 피부염의 가능성을 최소화하기 위한 것이다. 피부 흡수 경고는 동물실험에서 pentachloronaphthalene이 피부접촉 시 흡수가 용이하다는 자료를 근거로 권고하였다. 두 종류 이상의 염화나프탈렌에 노출되는 경우는 상가작용을 적용하여야 하며 감작제, 발암성, TLV-STEL에 대한 권고는 충분한 자료가 확보되지 않아 아직은 설정하지 않고 있다.

수산화나트륨(Sodium hydroxide)의 직업적 노출에 대한 TLV-Ceiling은 $2mg/m^3$으로 권고하였다. 권고수준은 수산화나트륨 에어로졸이 눈, 점막, 피부에 심한 자극을 유발하고 수산화나트륨 분진이 상기도 기관에 자극을 유발하는 농도에 근거하였다. 노출기준은 눈과 상기도 기관에 자극을 최소화하기 위하여 권고하였다. 고농도의 수산화나트륨에 장기간 노출되면 비강 궤양과 눈과 피부에 심한 손상을 유발할 수 있다. "피부", "감작제(SEN)", "발암성"의 경고주석을 권고하기에는 유용한 자료가 충분하지 않다.

m-Phenylenediamine의 직업적 노출기준 TLV-TWA $0.1mg/m^3$은 간 손상을 최소화하기 위하여 권고하였다. 또한 이 수준은 피부 자극이나 피부염을 예방하기 위한 기준이다. 흰쥐와 생쥐에게 m-phenylenediamine을 처치한 후의 발암성이 음성적이거나 명확하지 않은 결과로 A4(Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen, 사람에게 발암성으로 분류되지 않음)로 권고하였다 m-Phenylenediamine을 생산하는 근로자들에서 피부 알레르기반응이 있었다는 제한적인 자료도 있었지만 피부(Skin)와 감작제(SEN)의 경고주석 그리고 TLV-STEL을 권고하기에는 유용한 자료가 충분하지는 않다.
