Abnormal Pressure Work
Abnormal Pressure Work
Health Hazards
Acute:
During pressurization, barotrauma (e.g., affecting the eardrum, sinuses) can cause tissue stretching, edema, and bleeding. During decompression, fatigue, itchy skin, rashes, subcutaneous emphysema, and joint pain may occur, with joint pain being the most common symptom.
Symptoms of gas poisoning may occur, such as nitrogen narcosis, oxygen, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide poisoning.
Chronic:
The main symptoms include decompression-induced osteonecrosis and central nervous system degeneration. Clinically, symptoms may include joint pain, fatigue, memory loss, and difficulty concentrating.
Suggestions:
Level 1 Management: No specific regulations.
Level 2-4 Management:
Consider health conditions unsuitable for this type of work, such as respiratory diseases, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, mental or neurological disorders (including epilepsy), drug or substance addiction, ear, nose, and throat diseases, allergies, endocrine diseases (including diabetes), obesity, hernia, musculoskeletal disorders, anemia, eye diseases, gastrointestinal diseases (such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, pancreatitis), and health protection for pregnant workers.
