Abstract:
Objective To investigate the occupational health situation of female workers in the electronic enterprise. Methods A cluster sampling method was used to investigate the occupational health situation of 2560 female workers who were working in the workshops by questionnaire. The major occupational hazardous factors in the workplaces were monitored, and the health examination was conducted in 2560 female workers exposed to the occupational hazardous factors. Results The average age of 2560 female workers was (19.4±2.9) years, the average working days a month was (26.2±3.1) days, he average working time a day was (9.6±1.4) hours with work overtime at times. All hazard factors in the workplace are controlled within safe standard except for tin oxide concentration of air and noise level in workshop, 18.1％ of female workers exposed to the low concentration of benzene suffered from the decreased number of leukocytes. The heavy workload (such as, working overtime and moving heavy objects) and irrational ergonomic design induced obviously the muscular-skeletal system symptoms, such as backache, neurological symptoms, occupational stress, visual fatigue and accident injury as well. However, the enough interval rest could reduce significantly the occurrence of above symptoms (P＜0.05). Conclusion For the labor-intensive electronic enterprises, the occupational hazard prevention and control measures should be strengthened. The labor load regulation and rational ergonomic design can reduce the effects of the occupational hazard on the health of workers.
