However, their understanding does not usually adopt a gender perspective, even though the gendered division of work has differentiated health outcomes. As sustainability is at the top of the political agenda and in consideration of the gender segregation that exists at work, it is pertinent to question how I4.0 technologies are reconfiguring workplaces and impacting women and men’s health. Following a systematic review approach using the PRISMA protocol, this study explores how gender is integrated in I4.0-themed studies, exploring employment, work, and health. After the identification and screening phases were completed, a total of 16 papers were included. Literature exploring technological transformation from a gender point of view is scarce, as well as research developed in concrete work contexts. The literature in ...

Although cancer is the main cause of death among occupational diseases, many cases remain unreported, with an impact both on the reparation of victims and on the prevention of the risks that determined its expression. The present study analysed this problem, based on the evidence of 13 cases of prostate cancer in a steel smelting section of a metallurgical industry in northern Portugal. The information was obtained through interviews and the application of the Inquerito Saude e Trabalho (INSAT), on former workers and actors involved in occupational safety and health (OSH). The results showed that the steel smelting and working conditions—in particular, rotating shifts works, exposure to hazardous substances, electromagnetic fields and radioactivity are risk factors for the health of workers, with a decisive effect on the manifestation of prostate cancer. However, several obstacles prevented the cert...

Work intensification in the road transport industry: An approach to new working scenarios with automated vehicles

Notwithstanding such technology advancements, the work activity in road transport remains severe in terms of working conditions, given an ever-increasing work intensification scenario. OBJECTIVE To analyze the drivers' point of view over factors that determine the intensification of their work, to take preventive measures for future working conditions with automated vehicles. METHODS A sample of 336 Portuguese professional drivers answered the Health and Work Survey. RESULTS Work at an intense pace (70.6%) or working beyond the assigned timetable (68.5%) were reported as conditions that may induce work intensification. The need to follow production norms/meet strict deadlines or feeling exploited at work doubles the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Moreover, dealing with tense situations with the public, exposure to constant interruptions, and once again feeling exploit...

This paper performs a systematic review about drivers’ performance during takeover manoeuvres in driving simulator, a tool that is widely used in the evaluation of automated systems to reproduce risky situations that would not be possible to test in real roads. Objectives The main objectives are to provide a framework for the main strategies, experimental conditions and results obtained by takeover research using driving simulation, as well as to find whether different approaches may lead to different outcomes. Methodology First, a literature search following the PRISMA statement guidelines and checklist resulted in 36 relevant papers, which were described in detail according to the type of scenarios and takeover events, drivers’ engagement in secondary ...

Design/methodology/approach The design of the programme was based on the analysis of the work performed in real context by operators and supervisors. The data about the programme’s evaluation were collected by questionnaire, assessing the trainees’ global development and the impact of the training programme (after six months). Findings This paper involves designing, planning and implementing “4 × 4 Training”, a training programme for young trainees. Combining in-class training with an extensive component of on-the-job mentoring, the programme involved trainees, mentors and internal trainers, monitored by work psychologists. The results show both the trainees and the mentors evaluate the programme positively. The professi...

Contudo, se é relativamente consensual que algumas condições de trabalho (como a exposição a barulho intenso ou a certas poeiras e gases) podem ter um impacto significativo na saúde dos trabalhadores, também é importante alargar esta análise considerando outros factores que, embora menos óbvios, podem contribuir para uma degradação do estado de saúde dos trabalhadores. Neste sentido, este artigo procura chamar a atenção para um outro conjunto de factores, nomeadamente os riscos psicossociais, que embora menos óbvios e menos imediatos, devem ser analisados numa abordagem dita mais compreensiva (e não apenas explicativa) capaz de os integrar na avaliação das condições de trabalho.
