Potential barriers to engineered noise control in food and beverage manufacturing in British Columbia, Canada: a qualitative studyHugh W Davies
School of Population and Public Health, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Int J Audiol 51:S43-50. 2012..DESIGN & STUDY SAMPLE: Fifty-five individuals at eight food and beverage manufacturers participated. In-depth interviews were conducted and analysed using grounded theory techniques. HCP audits provided contextual information...- Occupational injury in rural Bangladesh: data gathering using household surveyHugh Davies
World Health Organization Bangladesh
Int J Occup Environ Health 17:214-22. 2011..The injury rates were higher than ILO estimates for Bangladesh, perhaps because of our study's focus on a rural population. We recommend expanding to larger and a more representative sample of the Bangladesh working community... - A retrospective assessment of occupational noise exposures for a longitudinal epidemiological studyH W Davies
School of Environmental Health, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Occup Environ Med 66:388-94. 2009.... - Correlation between co-exposures to noise and air pollution from traffic sourcesH W Davies
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Occup Environ Med 66:347-50. 2009..Similarities in pollution source and health outcome mean that there is potential for noise to confound studies of air pollution and cardiovascular disease, and vice versa, or for more complex interactions to occur... - Occupational noise exposure and hearing protector use in Canadian lumber millsHugh W Davies
School of Environmental Health, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
J Occup Environ Hyg 6:32-41. 2009..Determinants of noise exposure modeling offers a good method for the quantitative estimation of noise exposure... - The impact of hearing conservation programs on incidence of noise-induced hearing loss in Canadian workersHugh Davies
School of Environmental Health, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Am J Ind Med 51:923-31. 2008..Hearing conservation program legislation and the programs themselves were designed to lower risk of resulting occupational noise-induced hearing loss, but there has been no broad-based effort to assess the effectiveness of this policy... - Cytogenetic analysis of South Asian berry pickers in British Columbia using the micronucleus assay in peripheral lymphocytesH W Davies
Occupational Hygiene Programme, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Mutat Res 416:101-13. 1998..More studies in other ethnic groups and in males are needed to generalize the findings of this study. More direct measures of exposure are needed to elucidate the sources of genotoxicity... - Occupational exposure to noise and mortality from acute myocardial infarctionHugh W Davies
School of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Epidemiology 16:25-32. 2005..Although there is evidence of hypertension among noise-exposed workers, evidence of heart disease has been less conclusive... - Impact of expert versus measurement-based occupational noise exposure estimates on exposure-response relationshipsMelissa C Friesen

School of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Cancer Causes Control 17:749-58. 2006..The objective of this study is to assess the carcinogenicity of pentachlorophenol and tetrachlorophenol using data from the BC sawmill workers cohort study... - Beta(1-->3)-glucan exposure levels among workers in four British Columbia sawmillsLisa A Ronald
Department of Health Care and Epidemiology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
