Measuring the Risk of Infection at Work
Year: 1951
Type: article
Abstract: This sample had the same age, sex and occupational composition as the whole of the material and included factories of all sizes.There was, however, a tendency for the measurements to be obtained more frequently from the larger factories.t Of the 194 factories covered by the Board of Trade returns, 17 were " concentrated " during the war.These have been excluded from the calculations.A further 20 subsidiary factories which were included in the mass radiography survey but which did not carry out the complete manufacturing processes were also excluded.The remaining 177 factories accounted for 515 persons notified during the decade 1940-49.. A compartment is co-extensive with a walled room where there is no subdivision of the room.Wherever a permanent partition was found which reached eye level but did not touch the ceiling, it was.held that the workers on either side belonged to separate compartments.210
