The questionnaire included questions on sickness absence, job title (operator, manager or office worker), occurrence of MSD in the previous 12 months (1-year prevalence), age, gender, height, weight, smoking status (yes – no), physical activity, shift work, job demands, job control and social support.
It allows a managing operator (COP manager) to enter and manage information about all resources available and about those deployed on emergency sites, such as various emergency service units, equipment and consumables (food, blankets, medicine, etc).. Reflecting reported changes on site, the COP manager adds or removes resources, updates their locations and status in real time.
Although there were two shifts for machine operators, managers and company and contractor supervisors worked just the traditional "9 am to 5 pm" day.
To allow the tasks coordination and management in this new distributed structure, it takes advantage of the advances in mechatronics and information technologies, which should assure cooperation between the system parties and between the involved users (clients, operators, managers, etc).
Stakeholders include building designers, operators, managers, engineers, occupants, industry, vendors, and policymakers, who directly or indirectly influence the acts of designing, constructing, living, operating, managing, and regulating the built environments, from individual building up to the urban scale.
In contrast, supermarkets (their checkout operators, managers, etc).
Thus, according to our findings, metabolic syndrome-related interventions appear to be most needed for "transportation and material moving" workers as well as for "farm operators, managers, and supervisors" and "miscellaneous food preparation and service occupations".
Occupations with the highest unadjusted prevalence for meeting criteria for the metabolic syndrome (all significantly higher than the prevalence for the overall sample) were "other transportation and material occupations" (33.1%[23.1 45.0%%]), followed by "farm operators, managers, and supervisors" (27.4%[15.7 43.3%%]), and "motor vehicle operators" (26.4% [21.2 32.2%]).
Of the workers, 20% met the criteria for the metabolic syndrome, with "miscellaneous food preparation and food service workers" and "farm operators, managers, and supervisors" having the greatest age-adjusted prevalence (29.6 31.1%) and "writers, artists, entertainers, and athletes," and "engineers, architects, scientists" the lowest (8.5 9.2%).
After adjustment for age, occupations with the highest prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (all significantly higher than the prevalence for the overall sample) now included "miscellaneous food preparation and service occupations" (31.1% [95% CI 19.6 45.4%]), followed by "farm operators, managers, and supervisors" (29.8%[13.8 52.9%%]), and "health service occupations" (26.6% [19.4 35.3%]).
"Any person, group, store operator, building manager, etc., can participate in Adopt-a-Basket," a Sanitation Department leaflet says.
