There was an increase in the number of
occupational illnesses reported in 2007. Three
employees had to be removed temporarily from
the workplace due to high lead levels in their
blood. Two employees were unable to continue
with their normal work, due to occupational
asthma. Two repetitive strain injuries occurred,
linked to previous medical conditions. One case
each of noise-induced hearing loss and posttraumatic
stress disorder were reported.
