Biological agents and workplaces database

Biological risk assessment at workplaces is not easy because of the lack of a standard for biocontaminants measurement. INAIL's Technical Advisory Risk Assessment and Prevention (CONTARP) developed guidelines on microbiological monitoring in workplaces, in order to adopt homogeneous methodologies of airborne biocontaminants sampling and samples analysis. CONTARP and DCOD (Directorate for Digital Organization) developed a software programme, whose database contains data about environmental microbiological monitoring in companies.

Measurement of workers’ wellness is necessary for a good governance

This good practice deals with a statistical methodology in computer science to measure the workers welfare inside a company. We consider the company as a micro-society where wellness depends on both internal organizational factors and external factors related to work. We consider the working wellness as a multidimensional entity which can be interpreted through a set of indicators explored by the O.H.Q. (Organizational Health Questionnaire, 2002) questionnaire. A relational database and the SQL query language ensure portability and independence of the solution.

Rehabilitation training how to use mobility aids

In case of a gait deficit, the manual wheelchair is the ultimate tool for achieving this target: it is a key device in the world of assistive technology (AT) and its use helps to increase the chances of the person with a disability, his/her independence and participation in the activities of daily living. To make best use of the device a training programme is needed. The person has to learn a new kind of locomotion: he/she must learn to make transfers to and from the wheelchair, how to face stairs and inclines.
