Personality Traits As Risk Factors for Occupational Injury in Health Care Workers PERSONALITY TRAITS AS RISK FACTORS FOR OCCUPATIONAL INJURY IN HEALTH CARE WORKERS By HILARY STEVENS MORGAN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Hilary Stevens Morgan 2 To my parents who always stressed the value of education and instilled in their children a belief that anything was possible 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. Nancy Nivison Menzel, for her guidance, encouragement, and patience throughout this research study. I appreciate her knowledge of occupational health nursing and her commitment to provide leadership for this study despite moving over 2,000 miles westward. I gratefully acknowledge and extend my appreciation to the members of my committee, Jo Snider, PhD, Jiunn-Jye Sheu, PhD, and James V. Jessup, PhD. Each of them provided unique talents, time, and moral support during this study. I would like to thank Dr. Snider for her support during my struggles understanding psychology, Dr. Sheu for his patience in dealing with my epidemiology and study design questions and Dr. Jessup for his calm and encouragement in my moments of doubt. I also want to thank Seaborn Hunt, MD for his support of my returning to school. I know my absences in the office for school activities presented an additional burden on him, but he never wavered in his encouragement of my endeavors. The same appreciation is extended to Paula Murphy, Kathy Sandor, Ronnie Maxim, Vickie Hall, Milly Wilkinson and Renee' Brown who tolerated, with good graces, my vacillating moods throughout this long process. I also want to extend thanks to “my friend” Alice Carlisle. We began this journey as PhD students together and it would not have been as successful or as enjoyable without her companionship, friendship and advice over these last four years. Lastly, a special thanks to my sister, Lesley Morgan, PhD, RN, who paved the road before me and provide much insight, guidance and encouragement to get me to the end of the journey successfully. 4

  • New Policy Guidelines for Approving Settlement Agreements in Whistleblower Cases
    U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration Washington, D.C. 20210 Reply to the attention of: AUG 23 20\S MEMORANDUM FOR: REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS; WHISTLEBLOWER PROGRAM MANAGERS THROUGH: ~~~~'¥/::lJ JORDAN BARAB ~ Y>~ ~eputy Assistant Secr(j-;f FROM: MARY A AN, Director us tleblower Protection Programs SUBJECT: New policy guidelines for approving settlement agreements in whistleblower cases As part of OSHA' s administration of whistle blower protection statutes, OSHA reviews settlement agreements between complainants and their employers reached during the investigative stage to ensure they are fair, adequate, reasonable, and in the public interest, and that the employee's consent was knowing and voluntary. In reviewing these agreements OSHA sometimes encounters provisions that prohibit, restrict, or otherwise discourage a complainant from participating in protected activity related to matters that arose during his or her employment. In those cases, OSHA must ensure that such clauses are removed or clarified so that the agreements are lawful and consistent with the underlying purposes of the whistle blower protection statutes. Accordingly, below are updated criteria that OSHA will use to evaluate whether a settlement impermissibly restricts or discourages protected activity. This guidance supersedes the guidance in Chapter 6, paragraphs XII.E.2 and 3 of the OSHA Whistleblower Investigations Manual, but does not otherwise change OSHA's policies with regard to review of settlements: Criteria for Reviewing Private Settlements for Provisions that Restrict or Discourage Protected Activity OSHA will not approve a "gag" provision that prohibits, restricts, or otherwise discourages a complainant from participating in protected activity. Protected activity includes, but is not limited to, filing a complaint with a government agency, participating in an investigation, testifying in proceedings, or otherwise providing information to the government.

Amendment to the Illinois Workers’ Occupational Diseases Act. i. Illinois House Bill 2455 On June 5, 2020, Governor Pritzker signed Illinois House Bill 2455 into law which amended the Illinois Workers’ Occupational Diseases Act (820 ILCS 310/1) by adding Section 1(g) which creates an ordinary rebuttable presumption for first-responders, front-line workers, and employees of essential businesses who contracted COVID-19. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act was not amended. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act is designed to address injuries that are caused or aggravated by accidental injuries or traumas. However, the Illinois Workers’ Occupational Diseases Act is designed to create remedies for employees that are caused or aggravated by a gradual insidious process. ii. Amended Statutory Provisions. The rebuttable presumption applies to all cases tried after the effective date of the amendment, and in which the diagnosis of COVID-19 was made on or after March 9, 2020 and on or before December 31, 2020. If the employee’s injury or occupational disease resulted from exposure to and contraction of the COVID-19 virus, the exposure and the contraction shall be rebuttably presumed to have arisen out of and in the course of the employee’s first-responder or front-line worker employment, and further that the injury or disease shall be rebuttably presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or the exposure of that employment.

  • Introduction to Mobbing in the Workplace and an Overview of Adult Bullying
    1: Introduction to Mobbing in the Workplace and an Overview of Adult Bullying Workplace Bullying Clinical and Organizational Perspectives In the early 1980s, German industrial psychologist Heinz Leymann began work in Sweden, conducting studies of workers who had experienced violence on the job. Leymann’s research originally consisted of longitudinal studies of subway drivers who had accidentally run over people with their trains and of banking employees who had been robbed on the job. In the course of his research, Leymann discovered a surprising syndrome in a group that had the most severe symptoms of acute stress disorder (ASD), workers whose colleagues had ganged up on them in the workplace (Gravois, 2006). Investigating this further, Leymann studied workers in one of the major Swedish iron and steel plants. From this early work, Leymann used the term “mobbing” to refer to emotional abuse at work by one or more others. Earlier theorists such as Austrian ethnologist Konrad Lorenz and Swedish physician Peter-Paul Heinemann used the term before Leymann, but Leymann received the most recognition for it. Lorenz used “mobbing” to describe animal group behavior, such as attacks by a group of smaller animals on a single larger animal (Lorenz, 1991, in Zapf & Leymann, 1996). Heinemann borrowed this term and used it to describe the destructive behavior of children, often in a group, against a single child. This text uses the terms “mobbing” and “bullying” interchangeably; however, mobbing more often refers to bullying by more than one person and can be more subtle. Bullying more often focuses on the actions of a single person.

  • Global Programme Employment Injury Insurance and Protection | GEIP Contributing to Decent Work and the Social Protection Floor Guarantee in the Workplace
    Global Programme Employment Injury Insurance and Protection | GEIP Contributing to Decent Work and the Social Protection Floor Guarantee in the Workplace GEIP Vision statement “Enterprises of all types responsibly protect all their work force in case of injury and workplace risks contributing to social peace, inclusive and fair redistribution and the economic and competitive success. The World of Work relies on capable, well governed and modern institutions of social security delivering sustainable, adequate and affordable benefits in line with the dynamic realities of the world of work.” The ILO Programme and Budget calls on the establishment of floors of social protection and decent work for all workers in the context of Outcomes 3 on social protection floors and 4 sustainable enterprises.1 The GEIP provides a concrete action towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, namely on Poverty Reduction and Social Protection contributing to the indicator on providing the right to social protection benefits in case of work injury for all employed workers (SDG 1.3.1). Background and Context Key messages . Worldwide, only 33.9 per cent of the labour force is covered "by law" for employment injury through mandatory social insurance. If voluntary social insurance coverage and employer liability provisions are included, 39.4 per cent of the labour force is covered by law. In practice, actual access to employment injury protection is even lower, largely owing to incomplete enforcement of the legislation in many countries. The low coverage of employment injury compensation in many low- and middle-income countries points to an urgent need to enhance working conditions in respect of occupational safety and health, as well as improving employment injury coverage for all workers, including those in the informal economy.
