This document discusses epidemiology, hand hygiene, and the results of applying the World Health Organization's Hand Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework (HHSAF) in various healthcare facilities worldwide and in the Philippines. The HHSAF is a tool used to evaluate hand hygiene practices and promotion within a facility. It assesses five components to determine a facility's hand hygiene level. Facilities that achieve intermediate or advanced levels have generally implemented appropriate hand hygiene strategies and promotion. A 2016 study in the Philippines found that the majority of hospitals assessed achieved intermediate levels, indicating likely improvement in hand hygiene activities compared to prior years.
This document discusses the potential for a global, goal-based initiative to improve women's health in low and middle income countries. It notes that women face many health risks throughout their lives from diseases like cancer, diabetes and childbirth complications. The "diagonal approach" is proposed to tackle multiple diseases and strengthen health systems by focusing on areas like prevention, reducing stigma, and improving access to care. Country examples show how integrating cancer services into health programs can expand coverage. Lessons highlight how advocacy combined with evidence can drive action, and how a global initiative could contribute to setting shared goals, measuring progress, and gaining knowledge to benefit all women. Challenges of funding, scope, and setting achievable yet meaningful interim goals are also discussed
Expanding HIV testing and treatment coverage in Haiti could significantly reduce new HIV infections and AIDS deaths by 2036 according to a preliminary analysis. Increasing coverage from the current 55% level to 80% or 95% would avert thousands of new infections and AIDS deaths over this period. While expanding coverage would cost between $7-14 million per year, the estimated benefits of deaths and infections averted could outweigh these costs by a factor of 2.6 to 3.3 depending on the coverage level. Ensuring long-term treatment retention and integrating HIV services into general healthcare will help maximize these potential benefits, but financial sustainability challenges remain given Haiti's reliance on external funding for its current HIV programs.
This document discusses healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and presents information from AdvaMed. It notes that HAIs occur worldwide and affect hundreds of millions annually, increasing morbidity, mortality, and costs. Up to 90% of HAI deaths in the US are caused by multi-drug resistant organisms. Surveillance shows HAI incidence is 3 times higher in developing economies compared to EU/US. HAIs lead to prolonged hospital stays and increased costs. Prevention through evidence-based interventions could reduce HAIs by 65-70% and save resources. Strong infection control including surveillance is needed to combat HAIs and antimicrobial resistance.

Few engineering or administrative controls are used to protect workers in India's coal mines. Workers are exposed to coal dust which contains respirable crystalline silica and heavy metals. Workers suffer from silicosis and other pulmonary diseases from their workplace exposures in the mines. There is no health insurance and workers have a limited life expectancy.
The Health Safety Executive (HSE) published information on occupational lung disease statistics in Great Britain in 2023. The results underscore exposure to occupational illness in various industries in the UK.
Individual work tasks and business operations vary from industry to industry as well as within each industry. OSHA has collected a wealth of industrial hygiene sample data prior to the change in collection methods. We looked at the OSHA data to determine where the risks occurred within each industry. The results were surprising and the level of effort to inform workers was limited at the same time. Since our investigation, the occupational exposure limits have also changed so we compared the past data sets to the new exposure limits. There were even more surprised in our analysis.
While some stress is good to help drive business excellence, too much stress can have the opposite effect. There are individual variabilities of performance based on experience, education, training, and other psychosocial issues. Understanding stress and how to cope is very important tool. We explore the concerns of workplace stress and stress withing interpersonal relationships.
Migrant children are being exploited as they enter into a new country in order to support their family. These children work in agriculture, construction, and maritime industries. Some are sold as slaves while others are held in bondage or contract labor. No controls are used to protect their health or wellbeing.
After the earthquake in Turkey, workers, public and private citizens were exposed to asbestos, respirable crystalline silica and heavy metals from the debris and cleanup operations. This slide deck helps to illustrate the health hazards created by this disaster. Controls should have been used to reduce the risk of exposure.
Workers, volunteers, and the public are exposed to respirable crystalline silica, asbestos, and heavy metals from both natural and manmade disasters. This presentation looks at the potential occupational health exposures and the controls that could be used to reduce risk.
Workplaces in China have few controls yet they display updated industrial operations showing the hierarchy of controls. In many industries, workers are exposed to very dusty operations from coal mining to construction. This presentation aims to highlight those operations and work tasks where improvements can be made. There are consultants and organizations that could provide support to reduce the risk of exposure and prevent occupational illness and disease.
Business and industry in Bangladesh are different from the remainder of the world. Occupational health and industrial hygiene are poorly represented in the country. Health hazards and risk of occupational illness and disease are prevalent. A hierarchy of controls should be developed by the government and rules of engagement enforced. Tax credits should be given to employers to improve their workplaces and business culture. Investments in human capital should be made to evaluate conditions and provide sustainable improvements to reduce the liability and risk of illness and promote prosperity.
The industrial hygiene profession is expanding far beyond protecting worker health. IHs are looking into climate change, environmental and public health concerns, sustainability, mental health and so much more.
Many questions have been raised regarding the protection of workers and the public during the pandemic. This presentation offers insight into the precautions necessary of preventing exposure and the controls needed to reduce risk.
Industrial hygiene is a science to protect workers from harm due to chemicals, biological and physical agents, radiological and ergonomic exposures. Our professions spans other concerns related to workplace health including drugs and alcohol, mental health and so much more.
What we see does not always relate to the occupational health and safety hazards in the workplace. While doing surveys, our brain only sees 10% of what's actually going on. Learn more how to be more aware of your surroundings.
The business world is changing and the need to keep workers and leaders informed is ever more important. However, the time constraints to deliver the message must be provided in short sound bites so that it can be managed with the myriad of other daily responsibilities. The answer is to provide training when workers and leaders can attend online. Lessons need to be short and deliver meaningful information. The lessons need to build upon each other so the entire message is complete at the end of the training. By reimaging how we can deliver information in a timely fashion will improve our capacity to protect workers, public and the environment in the future.
Occupational and environmental health and safety have taken center stage in all market segments across the globe. The cost benefit of protecting workers, public, and the environment outweighs the cost of negligence and avoidance by limiting liability and risk while improving human performance, productivity, profitability and prosperity.
Mental health and psychosocial disorders are pervasive throughout the business world. Leadership needs to understand the cost benefits of incorporating these issues into existing safety and health management systems to improve the livelihoods of bot workers and their families. By improving policy, programs and procedures, everyone benefits from a better working environment, climate and culture.
Heat stress is a concern for baseball and softball officials doing multiple games over a tournament weekend. Some officials can officiate 9-11 games over a three day period with little rest in between. With elevated air temperatures and relative humidity during mid-day, officials are affected by the environmental conditions. This affects not only their cognitive skills but their physical ability to call plays. Wearing the protective gear places an additional heat strain on the officials behind the plate. This presentation discusses these issues and offers a basic model to judge the relative risk of heat stress for officials and assigners who are in good physical condition.
Industrial hygienists and occupational health professionals have been evaluating work environments and providing solutions to business for decades. With the advancement in technology and expansion of the profession into neighboring disciplines, they can provide total work health to more vulnerable populations across the globe.
The SARS CoV-2 virus has had a different effect on construction as opposed to other industries. These essential workers find themselves in various indoor and outdoor environments either working alone or along side with multiple trades. So the exposures vary with job work tasks and locations. This brief examines when it is necessary to employ more engineering or administrative controls to protect worker health.
Whenever a business is going to make a capital improvement to protect workers from harm, a cost benefit analysis should be done to determine if it is a sound decision. There are several ways to make the determination, which is explored in this brief.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

GHSA Summit Greeting Ebola Survivor Dr.Melvin Korkor from
Liberia
36. Global Health Security Agenda
The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) was launched in February 2014 to
advance a world safe and secure from infectious disease threats, to bring
together nations from all over the world to make new, concrete commitments,
and to elevate global health security as a national leaders-level priority. The
G7 endorsed the GHSA in June 2014, and Finland and Indonesia hosted
commitment development meetings to spur action in May and August.
37. Global Health Security
“...the activities required, both proactive and reactive, to minimize
vulnerability to acute public health events that endanger the collective health
of populations living across geographical regions and international
boundaries” (World Health Assembly Report, 2007)
• In 2003, SARS cost $30 billion in only 4 months
• The anthrax attacks of 2001 infected 22
people, killed 5, and cost more than $1 billion
to clean up
• The 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic killed
284,000 people in its first year alone
• AIDS spread silently for decades

41. GHSA Antimicrobial Resistance Action Package
Five-Year Target:
Develop an integrated and global package of activities to combat
antimicrobial resistance, including:
Each country has its own national comprehensive plan
Strengthen surveillance and laboratory capacity at the national and
international level
Improved conservation of existing treatments and collaboration to support
the sustainable development of new antibiotics, alternative treatments,
preventive measures and rapid, point-of-care diagnostics, including
systems to preserve new antibiotics
42. GHSA Antimicrobial Resistance Action Package
As Measured by:
Number of comprehensive plans to combat antimicrobial resistance
agreed and implemented at a national level, and yearly reporting against
progress towards implementation at the international level
Number of countries actively participating in a twinning framework, with
countries agreeing to assist other countries in developing and
implementing comprehensive activities to combat antimicrobial
resistance, including use of support provided by international bodies to
improve the monitoring of antimicrobial usage and resistance in humans
and animals.
43. GHSA Antimicrobial Resistance Action Package
Desired National Impact:
Decisive and comprehensive action to enhance infection prevention and
control activities to prevent the emergence and spread of AMR, especially
among drug-resistant bacteria. Nations will strengthen surveillance and
laboratory capacity, ensure uninterrupted access to essential antibiotics of
assured quality, regulate and promote the rational use of antibiotics in human
medicine and in animal husbandry and other fields as appropriate, and
support existing initiatives to foster innovations in science and technology for
the development of new antimicrobial agents.
44. CDC in Action
The International Infection Control Program
(IICP) builds on decades of experience in the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s
Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion.
IICP’s mission is to protect patients and
healthcare workers globally by providing
expertise, evidence, and implementation
strategies to sustainably address
infectious disease threats related to
healthcare delivery.
45. International Infection Control Program:
What We Do
Provide rapid assistance for outbreaks and other
adverse events related to healthcare delivery
Improve country Infection Prevention &Control capacity
to prevent and control healthcare-associated infectious
disease outbreaks and device-associated HAIs
Reduce the globa l burden of antimicrobia l
resistance associated with healthcare delivery
46. Summary
IPC is a critical component for outbreak response
IPC and public health link must be strengthened
Focus on national and sub-national systems for long-term
Current global initiatives can help
