【安易なPTSD対策にだまされないために】

という内容のお話しをさせて頂きます。

無料資料の提供もあります!



あなたの会社の労働安全衛生管理・産業医活動のヒントになれば幸いです。


地震に津波

原子力発電所

放射線被ばく

食べ物や水の安全性


この数週間で、いろいろなことが起りました。



従業員のメンタルケアもかなりクローズアップされているようです。

しかし、その半面、安易な

”PTSD”商法 (PTSD関連商売)

も目立つようになってきたと感じます。



今日は、本当のストレスマネジメントをしっている企業(人)の見分け方のポイントについてお話しさせて頂きます。



PTSDは多くの人の知る言葉となっています。

本当のPTSDは、

【惨事の1カ月あとにも続いているもの】で、

3カ月で50%の人が治る
(50%しか治らない)

と言われています。


現時点(2011.3.30.)では、

【PTSDに移行させないようにすることが最も大切】

です。

いわば、今はPTSD予防対策の一番大切な時期なのです。



この時期のストレスを、

【惨事ストレス Critical Incident Stress CIS】

といいます。


惨事ストレスCISは、

1.誰にでも起こる可能性があります。

あなたが弱いわけではありません。これは、


2.(惨事という)異常な状況への正常な反応です


そして、

3.多くの惨事ストレスは適切に対処すれば回復 します。


適切な対処で心的外傷後ストレス障害(PTSD)を防止することが大切です。



きちんと惨事ストレス対策をとっている企業もあります。


惨事ストレスのコツを書いた紙を

トイレの個室の内側にはったりするのも一つです。


(やっている企業もあり、結構評判よかったと聞いています。)


利用した感想をアンケートでお答え頂ける企業様には無料で提供させて頂ききますので、このメールに

【会社名、担当者名、企業規模(人数)など書いて】

ご連絡ください。よろしくお願いします。



追記:
放射線に関して、

現時点では、東京は安心安全ですが、

過度な不安が人々の生活の質を下げていると感じます。



正しい知識をもって、正しく対処することが大切です。

弊社では現在、

【放射線被ばくの基礎と惨事ストレス対策】

という依頼講演をうけたまわっております。
(英語、日本語、両方可能)


従業員の心と身体の健康のためにも、ご活用ください。

講演の話をもう少し詳しく聞きたい方も、同様にメールでご連絡下さい。


以上、
あなたの会社の労働安全衛生管理・産業医活動のヒントになれば幸いです。


なお、PTSDはしっかりとした疾患であり、これは専門家の治療をお勧めします。安易なその場限りの講演で対処できるものではありません。

衛生委員会のテーマの扱い方のこつ

いつもありがとうございます。

産業医の武神です。


今回は

【衛生委員会のテーマの扱い方のこつ】

という内容に関するお話しをさせて頂きます。


テーマの選び方ではありません。

【扱い方】のコツ、です。


きっと今まで、あなたの会社の産業医から聞いたことのないような話です。

あなたの会社の労働安全衛生管理・産業医活動のヒントになれば幸いです。

放射線被ばくについて、アメリカの専門家の分析ppt

今回の震災に起因した福島原発の事故について国民の不安が高まっています。チェルノブイリのようになってしまうと思っている人も多いです。アメリカのBen Monreal教授が非常に良い解説を作ってくれました。もちろん個人的な見解ですが。

Basic knowledge about radioactivity concerning damages incurred on nuclear power plant

Basic knowledge about radioactivity concerning damages incurred on nuclear power plant

<原子力発電所被害に関する基礎知識>

Compiled from the following URL of National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS)
www.nirs.go.jp/information/info.php?116

1. What should the residents within peripheral areas of the nuclear power plant do in case of a nuclear power plant accident?

First thing to do is to collect information from radio or television, or from the 
municipalities through PR vehicles or radio on disaster prevention administration, or cable 
broadcasting. 

Do not be swayed by rumors. Please act swiftly when instructed by the local municipal 
authorities to stay indoors or to evacuate.

In case of staying inside buildings, shut tight all the windows and doors and stop 
ventilation fans and such to assure no air from the outside will enter.

Please refrain from consuming agricultural crops grown within the areas of evacuation 
until safety is assured.

2.What should we be concerned about when we evacuate from our residence?

In order to not take in the radioactive material, if outdoors, fold and wet either a 
towel or cotton handkerchief with water, and then squeeze them tight to place over your 
nose and mouth for protection. 

This should prevent you from inhaling most types of radioactive material.

Please make sure to wear a hat, etc., and try to not expose your skin as much as possible.

3. How would radioactive material in air influence human body? Please advise based on the 
amount of radioactive exposure.


The radioactive material within the air can reside within the environment if it rests on 
to the ground surface or on buildings. 

In that case, you risk taking the radioactive material within the body by consuming the drinking water or agricultural crops affected with radioactive material.

There can be effects on your health if exposed to radioactivity, however, its influence or type of influence will depend on the amount of radiation. For example, radioactive exposure 
below 100mSv (milli-sievert) will not cause immediate impact on health. 

The higher the amount of radioactivity, the higher the risk of developing cancer in a few 
years to few decades time, but the risk is about 0.5% in case of 100mSv radioactivity. 

This is much lower risk by several factors of ten, compared to developing cancer related to 
lifestyle habits, such as smoking or diet, and there is no need for excessive concern.
