Test operation of occupational acute poisoning monitoring system

Test operation of acute poisoning disease management system utilizing regional monitoring center for Incheon area

 

Test operation results of the monitoring system will be reflected when promoting related projects in the future

The Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (OSHRI, Director General: Kim Jang-Ho) of the Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency is running a test operation of a monitoring system for managing occupational acute poisoning disease management.

 

○ For prevention of occupational material poisoning of organic compounds, heavy metal, acid and alkalis etc., occupational environment measurements and special health diagnoses are being conducted in business places that deal with harmful chemical materials.

However, in small size business places that lack exclusive manpower in charge of industrial health, even when occupational acute poisoning occurs due to insufficient information, cases where initial countermeasure fails may occur, and thus a need to construct monitoring and watch system is emerging.

□ Accordingly, KOSHA designed a management system based on the research results of "occupational acute poisoning, designing damage management system", and is running a test operation of regional monitoring center in Incheon area through cooperation with the research team of Gachon University medical college.

The Central Monitoring Headquarters serves as the control tower, the Regional Monitoring Center consists of a Research Team and a Report Response Team, being provided with an information exchange system with the Regional Arbitration Center via a network, so that patients suspected of occupational acute poisoning can be reported and returned to work, and cases can be shared, allowing business place surveys, pregnancy health diagnoses, and epidemiological surveys etc.

The Regional Monitoring Center selects diseases to be monitored for occupational acute poisoning, builds management system, and analyzes the results of test operations to come up with long term occupational poisoning disease prevention measures.

□ The scale of the management system and necessities derived according to the test operation results will be sorted out, the characteristics of the diseases will be evaluated and reflected to establishing an effective management system. 

The need for a continuous promoting of the project will be examined and improvements will be supplemented to prepare a long term project execution measures, based on which an occupational poisoning disease management system roadmap will be devised.
