2-Restrictive Ventilatory
Defects
o Reduction of FEV1 % of
predicted value for age and
gender.
o Low FEV1 / FVC ratio.
E.g. Asthma, byssinosis,
chronic bronchitis,
bronchiectasis & emphysema.
o Reduction of both FEV1 and
FVC % of predicted value for
age and gender.
o Normal or high FEV1 / FVC
ratio (typically > 80%).

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT(P.P.E)
Definition:
Personal protective equipment ( PPE ) is designed to
protect employees from serious workplace injuries or illnesses
resulting from contact with chemical, radiological, physical,
electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards.
Requirements for P.P.E :

A respirator :Is a protective device that covers the nose and mouth or the
entire face or head to guard the wearer against hazardous atmospheres.
Respirators may be : ■ Tight-fitting : That is, half masks, which cover the mouth and nose and
full face pieces that cover the face from the hairline to below the chin.
■ Loose-fitting :Such as hoods or helmets that cover the head completely.
There are two major classes of respirators : ■ Air-purifying: Which use filters or sorbents to remove harmful substances from
the air.
■ Atmosphere - supplying: Provide clean, breathable air from an
uncontaminated source.
Indications for use: 1) Insufficient oxygen .
2) Harmful dust, fogs, smokes, mists, fumes & gases.
3)Toxic substances present in the workplace

Workplace controls are intended to contain biohazards at their source, reduce their airborne concentration, and limit their movement through the work site.
Proper ventilation of workroom
appropriately designed and maintained.

Administrative control focuses on maintaining good work habits to minimize exposures due to spills, accidental releases, or other causes.
Work surfaces should be decontaminated properly.
Access to biohazard work areas should be restricted.
Work practice :In laboratories, mouth pipetting should be prohibited-overcrowding of work-areas .

Early disease detection contributes to successful treatment of disease and enables precautionary measures to break disease transmission, including isolation of infectious disease cases.
Outbreak response Prompt investigation to determine the source, control
of the source. Prompt and effective treatment. Isolation of the affected workers is essential (when
needed).

Control of the disease in the animal reservoir: •Stock certification and vaccination (for example, anthrax or
brucellosis) • Quarantine measures (for example, for psittacine birds) • Infection free feeds (for example, Salmonella free feed for
poultry) • Avoidance of contamination of animal drinking water •Test and slaughter policies (for example, for bovine
tuberculosis) • Good standards of hygiene in stock housing • Regular stock health checks by vets • Meat inspection Safe work practices, Strict personal hygiene, PPE
