Abstract:
Forty years has passed after the promulgation of the Industrial Safety and Health Law, Japan. In this paper, working environmental control based on the law was overviewed. The working environmental control includes evaluation and engineering controls of hazardous elements in the work environment. It is an important task for industrial physicians to conduct, similar to workers' health control. The annual cycle of evaluation and engineering control for environments is also similar to the cycle of diagnosis and clinical treatment for workers for the workers' health control. Historically, the working environmental control system was based on a list of worksites, using chemicals listed in the regulations, and the concentration of contaminants in the air at each work site. Recently, control banding of newly developed chemicals without administrative control levels, was introduced as a method for the working environmental control.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
Physiological Control of Respiration
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...
