SUN COAST LITERATURE REVIEW 2
Literature Review
Particulate Matter (PM)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), among others, are common diseases
associated with particulate matter size. A meta-analysis research conducted by Zhu and his
colleagues between January 2000 and 2011 reviewed that an increase of 10μg/m3 of PM (10)
resulted in a 2.7% increase in COPD hospitalization and a 1.1% increase in COPD mortality
(Zhu et al., 2013). On the other hand, Karakatsani et al. (2012) study indicates that an increase of
10μg/m3 resulted in an increase in COPD symptoms by 0.6-0.7%. Research by MacNaughton et
al. (2017) indicates that 1 μg/m3 of PM2.5 size pollutants resulted to increase in school
absenteeism by 1.58%.
Safety Training Effectiveness
Lost-time hours in accidents, injuries, illnesses, and minor consultations is common. In a
research conducted by Sal & Raja (2016), employee training and development reviewed a high
correlation with performance (r =.649, p<0.01), training (r =.595, p<0.01), development (r =.567,
p<0.01) and productivity (r =.549, p<0.01). The study reveals that training is an important part of
reducing lost-time hours by increasing performance and productivity. Training produces positive
attitudes, improves workforce, offers better problem-solving mechanisms, assisting one another,
and instill self-confidence. According to the authors, one can handle stress, frustration, tension,
and conflict. Training also helps the employee observe occupational and health safety and follow
the outlined policies and work procedures, resulting in accident reduction and injuries hence
reducing lost time hours.
