BACK PAIN - National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health

Issue 19, Volume 8, 2015
The petroleum industry handles large quantities of flammable and toxic materials, so the potential for serious
accidents is clear. To prevent them it is vital that there should be suitable safe systems of work.
When incidents do occur, human factors, such as failure to implement procedures properly, are often a root cause.
These failures may in turn be attributable to a lack of training, instructions or understanding of either the purpose or
practical applications of Permit to Work (PTW) systems.
Join the Seminar for better understanding:-
Target Audiences:
 Lack of discipline in our PTW system
 Adequacy of PTW system unchecked

BACK PAIN
Causes of back pain
Back pain is more common in tasks that involve:
a) lifting heavy or bulky loads;
b) carrying loads awkwardly, possibly one handed;
c) repetitive tasks, packing of products;
d) long distance driving or driving over rough ground, particularly if the seat is not, or cannot be,
properly adjusted;
e) stooping, bending or crouching, including work at PCs (poor posture);
f) pushing, pulling or dragging heavy loads;
g) working beyond normal abilities and limits;
h) working when physically tired;
i) stretching, twisting and reaching;
j) prolonged periods in one position.
Dealing with an attack of back pain
Sometimes the pain can make you miserable but you should still take control of the pain by trying to
stay active and continue as normally as possible.
In the early stages:
• Rest may not help. Your back is designed for movement so the sooner you start doing your
ordinary activities the better.
• Use painkillers, heat or cold applied to the sore area may help.
• A short course of manipulation can help relieve back pain for some, if done by a qualified
professional osteopath, physiotherapist or chiropractor.

Warning signs
If you have severe pain which gets worse over
several weeks, or if you are unwell with back pain,
you should see your doctor.
Back pain is not usually due to any serious damage
or disease. The pain usually improves within days or
a few weeks, at least enough to get on with your
life. Only a few people have back pain that is
caused by a more serious issue such as a slipped
disc or a trapped nerve and even these usually get
better by themselves.
X-rays and MRI scans can detect serious spinal
injuries which are very rare but they do not usually
help in ordinary back pain.
If you do have back pain and suddenly notice any of
these symptoms, which are rare, you should see a
doctor straight away:
• Steadily increase your level of activity.
• Do a little bit more each day if the pain has been
restricting your movement.
• Do not stay in one position for too long.
• Get up and stretch regularly.
• Move about and take some walks, building up your
activity as you get stronger.
• Stay at work if you can to keep active and recover
from the pain. If you have a lot of lifting or other risk
factors in your job, talk to your supervisor or boss and
tell them about tasks that will be difficult to begin with.
• Even if the pain is particularly severe and you are off
work, you can still try to do most daily activities or
hobbies.
• Do not do one thing for too long. Keep changing your
activities so that you are changing position and
moving around from time to time
• difficulty passing or controlling urine
• numbness around your back passage or genitals
• numbness, pins and needles, or weakness in
both legs
• unsteadiness on your feet

: The French Approach to
Safety Assessments
by Gregory Rolina(Author)
This book discusses the specifics of safety regulations regarding
nuclear risk and how experts contribute to the safety of nuclear
installations. Drawing on research conducted in collaboration with
the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety
(IRSN), the ideas that are put forward rely on a review of the
practices of specialists in human and organizational factors
concerning nuclear safety. The author shows that the French
approach depends on maintaining a technical dialogue between the
regulatory authority (ASN), IRSN and nuclear operators. This
method of risk management is known as "French cooking" in the
Anglo-Saxon world, where a more formal regulatory approach is
taken. This technical dialogue does however hold certain benefits,
particularly in the field of human and organizational factors, where it
allows an advancement of the state of knowledge, which remains
incomplete. After the Fukushima accident, in the face of an ongoing
European and global re-evaluation of the safety of nuclear power
and alignment towards the Anglo-Saxon standard, the French
cooking approach may yet be able to make a significant contribution.
This work will be of interest to all involved in nuclear power
engineering and in the field of risk management and nuclear safety.
Includes a preface by Jacques Repussard, Director General, IRSN,
France, and a postface by Erik Hollnagel, Professor, Institute of
Regional Health Research, University of Southern Denmark / Chief
Consultant, Centre for Quality, Region of Southern Denmark.
