  5. Article ; Online: Privatization and Multi-Fatality Disasters: A Causal Connection Exposing Both Worker and Citizen Health and Safety Failures in the UK?

    Beck, Matthias / Watterson, Andrew

    International journal of environmental research and public health

    2022  Volume 19, Issue 20

    Abstract: ... both in terms of a "within-country" comparison (i.e., when we compare the privatization period of 1979 to 1997 ...

    Abstract Although several countries have experienced large-scale privatization initiatives, relatively little is known about the impact of these initiatives on the health and safety of workers and resident populations. Examining data on technical (as compared to natural) multi-fatality disasters collected in the WHO's Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) for the UK and a number of European comparator countries for recent decades, this paper shows that the incidence of these disasters and the number of deaths resulting from them rose significantly in the UK during the period from 1979 to 1991 when the country engaged in extensive and aggressive privatization campaigns which were supported by several consecutive Conservative governments. This observed UK blip or abnormal increase in multi-fatality disasters is apparent for the UK both in terms of a "within-country" comparison (i.e., when we compare the privatization period of 1979 to 1997 with other periods), as well as when viewed in terms of comparisons with the comparable European countries of Germany, France, and Italy for the same period (1979 to 1997). Contrary to previous analyses which suggested that there is no clear link between privatization and deterioration of health and safety, this paper concludes that the UK privatization experience (1979-1997) provides robust country-specific evidence of privatization initiatives leading to increases in the number of multi-fatality technological disasters as well as related fatalities. This evidence should be seen as a deterrent to similarly extensive and aggressive initiatives which, particularly in less developed countries, could result in similarly disastrous outcomes.

  6. Article ; Online: Artificial Turf: Contested Terrains for Precautionary Public Health with Particular Reference to Europe?

    Watterson, Andrew

    International journal of environmental research and public health

    2017  Volume 14, Issue 9

    Abstract: ... polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons including benzo (a) (e) pyrenes and phthalates: some are carcinogens and others may be ...

    Abstract Millions of adults, children and teenagers use artificial sports pitches and playgrounds globally. Pitches are artificial grass and bases may be made up of crumb rubber from recycled tires or new rubber and sand. Player injury on pitches was a major concern. Now, debates about health focus on possible exposure and uptake of chemicals within pitch and base materials. Research has looked at potential risks to users from hazardous substances such as metals, volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons including benzo (a) (e) pyrenes and phthalates: some are carcinogens and others may be endocrine disruptors and have developmental reproductive effects. Small environmental monitoring and modelling studies, often with significant data gaps about exposure, range of substances monitored, occupational exposures, types of surfaces monitored and study length across seasons, indicated little risk to sports people and children but some risk to installation workers. A few, again often small, studies indicated potentially harmful human effects relating to skin, respiration and cancers. Only one widely cited biomonitoring study has been done and no rigorous cancer epidemiological studies exist. Unravelling exposures and uptake over decades may prove complex. European regulators have strengthened controls over crumb rubber chemicals, set different standards for toys and crumb rubber pitches. Bigger US studies now underway attempting to fill some of the data gaps will report between 2017 and 2019. Public health professionals in the meantime may draw on established principles to support greater caution in setting crumb rubber exposure limits and controls.

  7. Article ; Online: Risk factors for leg ulceration in people who inject drugs: A cross-sectional study.

    Abstract Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to assess, for the first time in a hard-to-reach population, the risk factors for leg ulceration among PWID, with the objective of making improvements to prevention and care.
    Background: An estimated 4.8 million people globally inject drugs with potential for injecting-related harm. Skin and vein damage associated with drug injecting is increasing. Leg ulceration is a chronic condition which in the UK has a prevalence of 15% among people who have injected drugs (PWID) compared with 1% in the general population. Glasgow has the highest rate of problematic drug use in Scotland with approximately 13,900 individuals, about 50% of whom are thought to inject. However, the reasons for high prevalence of leg ulceration among PWID are unknown. To support improvements in prevention and care, the dearth of evidence around risk factors for leg ulceration in PWID needs to be addressed.
    Design: A cross-sectional survey of 200 current and former injectors recruited from drug services in Glasgow, Scotland, to measure skin problems, leg ulceration and injecting habits is reported following STROBE guidelines. Logistic regression modelling examined whether demographics and injecting habits predicted leg ulceration.
    Results: The likelihood of leg ulceration was increased for those who injected in the groin and the leg. Additionally, injecting in the groin and leg were associated with having a DVT.
    Conclusion: The primary risk factors for leg ulceration in PWID are injecting in the groin and the legs and these are clinically linked to deep vein thrombosis. Injecting into the femoral vein is increasingly common practice for PWID and healthcare practitioners should advise injectors of the increased risk of leg ulceration and DVT and discourage injecting into these areas.

    Abstract Background: The highly complex and technological environment of critical care manages the most critically unwell patients in the hospital system, as such there is a need for a highly trained nursing workforce. Intensive care is considered a high-risk area for errors and adverse events (AE) due to the severity of illness and number of procedures performed.
    Objective: To investigate if the percentage of Critical Care Registered Nurses (CCRN) within an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is associated with an increased risk of patients experiencing an AE.
    Design & setting: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted between January 2016 and December 2020 to a tertiary ICU in Australia. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used to investigate the relationship between the proportion of CCRNs each month and the occurrence of an AE defined as any one of a medication error, fall, pressure injury or unplanned removal of a central venous catheter or endotracheal tube per patient.
    Results: A total of 13,560 patients were included in the study, with 854 (6.3%) experiencing one AE. Patients with an AE were associated with higher illness severity and frailty scores. They were more commonly admitted after medical emergency team response calls and were less commonly elective ICU admissions. Those with an AE had longer ICU and in-hospital length of stay, and higher ICU and in-hospital mortality, on average. After adjusting for ICU LOS and acute severity of illness, being admitted during a month of higher critical care nursing skill-mix was associated with a statistically significant lower odds of having a subsequent AE (OR 0.966 [95% CI: 0.944-0.988],
    Conclusion: An increasing percentage of CCRNs is independently associated with a lower risk-adjusted likelihood of an AE. Increasing the skill-mix of the ICU nursing staff may reduce the occurrence of AEs and lead to improved patient outcomes.
