Abstract

Objective: To explore the applicability of Singapore semi-quantitative assessment method and international committee on mining and metals occupational health risk assessment method in occupational health risk assessment of ceramic enterprises. Methods: From March 2017 to May 2018, A ceramic enterprise was selected for the investigation and testing of occupational health, and the risk assessment of the occupational-disease-inductive factors in the workplace was conducted by the semi-quantitative assessment method of Singapore and the occupational health risk assessment method of the international committee on mining and metals. Results: The occupational-disease-inductive factors in the production process of this ceramic enterprise mainly include silicon dust, noise, high temperature, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and so on. The two risk assessment methods were applied to assess the risk of occupational-disease-inductive factors in the workplace, and the results showed that the high risk level was 16.67%, the medium risk level was 63.33%, and the low risk level was 20.00%. The risk level of silicon dust is from low risk to high risk. Conclusion: The semi-quantitative assessment method and the occupational health risk assessment method of the International Commission on Mining and Metals are simple to operate and practical, and are suitable for the assessment of occupational hazards in ceramic enterprises.

目的: 探讨应用新加坡半定量评估方法和国际采矿与金属委员会职业健康风险评估法在陶瓷企业职业健康风险评估中的适用性。 方法: 2017年3月至2018年5月,对某陶瓷企业开展职业卫生学调查和检测,并应用新加坡半定量评估方法和国际采矿与金属委员会职业健康风险评估法对该企业工作场所存在的职业病危害因素进行风险评估。 结果: 该陶瓷企业在生产过程中存在的职业病危害因素主要有矽尘、噪声、高温、一氧化碳、二氧化碳等。应用该两种风险评估法对工作场所存在的职业病危害因素进行评估风险,结果显示:高风险等级占16.67%、中等风险等级占63.33%、低风险等级占20.00%。矽尘的风险水平为低风险至高风险;一氧化碳、二氧化碳的风险水平均为低风险;噪声和高温的风险水平均为中等风险。 结论: 新加坡半定量评估方法和国际采矿与金属委员会职业健康风险评估法划分等级操作简单、实用性较强,适用于陶瓷企业的职业危害等级评估。.
