Abstract: The occupational health and safety is required employers to provide a healthy and safe working environment that is free from hazards. Construction work is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. It causes more fatalities than any other occupational sector. Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) is located in Dumki Upazila of Patuakhali District of Barisal division in Bangladesh. Study focuses on to finding out the major health and safety related hazards in construction side in PSTU and to recommend some management options to reduce health related hazards and increase safety. The major health related hazards in PSTU construction site is falling from height; hit by falling object; trips and fall; back pain; muscular pain (due to manual handling); health problem caused by chemicals, dust, noise; injury from fire and other disaster. Sometimes they suffer from different types of diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, jaundice, skin disease, typhoid, pneumonia, cough and malaria. For this reason the construction sector has been identified as one of the high-risk sectors in this country by the Department of Labor. In order to reduce injury and disease in the construction sector a Health and Safety accord has been signed between Government, Organized Business and Organized Labor Organizations. For better performance personal and a holistic approach must be needed.

Abstract: Purpose of research: to study dynamics of infectious and parasitic diseases (for 2008-2013 years) among the children population in Dnipro region and to define influence of water factor on the disease and prevalence given class of illnesses. Materials and methods. Retrospective study of infectious and parasitogenic diseases (І class by ICD-10) among children population from rural districts of Dnipropetrovsk region for 2008-2013 years was carried out. It was spent correlation analysis between some indicators of potable water quality of diseases of the given class in all districts. In the majority of rural districts, was shown increasing І class of diseases from (1.4 to 1.63) times in dynamics for 2008-2013 years. In some districts was reveled an average correlation link between content in water of the dry residue, chlorides, sulphates, calcium, magnesium, except rigidity and iron and prevalence І class of diseases (r=0.50, p<0.001). Prevalence of the given class of diseases was correlated with рН, nitrates, oxidability in the three rural districts of Dnipropetrovsk region (r=0.74-0.89, p<0.001). We did not found health effects of higher levels of iron, manganese and arsenic in water from shallow tube wells on the children population morbidity, such as: arsenicosis, skin diseases, skin cancers, internal cancers (bladder, kidney, and lung), diabetes, raised blood pressure, and reproductive disorders, children’s cognitive, behavioral, and neuropsychological health disorders.
