The rubber industry is a cornerstone of the global economy, supplying essential materials for a wide range of products, from tires and footwear to medical devices and consumer goods. While the industry plays a vital role in economic development, it is also associated with a unique set of health and safety challenges for workers. This book, “Update on Health and Safety in the Rubber Industries”, provides a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of these challenges and offers practical guidance for improving the health and safety standards in rubber manufacturing and processing.

The health and safety risks in the rubber industry stem from both the raw materials used and the complex processes involved in transforming these materials into finished products. Workers in the rubber industry are exposed to a variety of hazardous substances, including toxic chemicals, dust, and fumes, which can result in serious long-term health conditions such as respiratory diseases, skin disorders, and even cancers. Additionally, the mechanical and manual tasks involved in rubber production expose workers to ergonomic hazards and physical injuries.

This book, co-authored by Naesinee Chaiear and Nutjaree Saejiw, aims to address these issues by presenting the most current research, safety protocols, and best practices in occupational health. Drawing on the latest advancements in industrial hygiene, toxicology, and safety management, this edition provides actionable insights that can be implemented by industry professionals, safety officers, and regulators to mitigate risks and enhance worker well-being.
