Impact of worker education on respiratory symptoms and sensitization in bakeries

Flour exposure is known to cause significant respiratory problems. To investigate the development of work-related sensitization, the period between first exposure and the development of symptoms (latent period) and the impact of workplace training programmes on respiratory health in plant bakers.

description Flour exposure is known to cause significant respiratory problems. To investigate the development of work-related sensitization, the period between first exposure and the development of symptoms (latent period) and the impact of workplace training programmes on respiratory health in plant bakers. Two hundred and sixty-four bakers were investigated by assessing work-related respiratory symptoms and latent period before symptoms/sensitization, spirometry and testing for an array of workplace-specific IgE. There was a significant relationship between the presence of work-related respiratory symptoms and flour dust allergen-specific IgE. Latent periods varied widely: median for work-related nasal symptoms 36 months, cough 42 months and chest tightness 120 months. Latent periods were shorter for workers with evidence of flour sensitization (work-related wheeze: mean 13 months with sensitization, 97 months without, P < 0.05, work-related nasal symptoms, respectively; mean 19 months, 71 months, P < 0.01). Those warned of the health implications of flour dust had less work-related wheeze (warned; 1%, not warned 11%, P < 0.05). There was an excess of work-related symptoms and work-related-specific IgE combined in those who had not been warned of these health implications (12 versus 1%, P
