This methods paper, produced by researchers from Theme 3 of the PROTECT study, assesses the datasets available for investigating difference in COVID-19 mortality for workers in different occupations in the UK.All the datasets considered are found to have particular...
The widespread transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has increased scientific and societal interest in air cleaning technologies, and their potential to mitigate the airborne spread of microorganisms. In this paper, published in Applied Biosafety, researchers from...
The COVID-19 Job Exposure Matrix (JEM), has been developed to categorise occupations according to workplace factors believed to be associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19. This paper, published by Theme 3 researchers of the the PROTECT...
Two cohort studies from the United Kingdom were used to explore relationships between domains of a COVID-19 job exposure matrix (JEM) and SARS-CoV-2 infection. This paper, from Theme 3 researchers on the PROTECT NCS, and published in the Scandinavian Journal of Work,...
Occupational disparities in COVID-19 vaccine uptake can impact the effectiveness of vaccination programmes and introduce particular risk for vulnerable workers and those with high workplace exposure. This paper by PROTECT theme 3 researchers and the Virus...
The COVID-19 pandemic led to levels of hospitalisation and mortality that are unprecedented in recent history, and in March 2020 the UK Government imposed a range of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) with the aim of minimising transmission of severe acute...
COVID-19 pandemic mitigations have had a profound impact on workplaces, however, multisectoral comparison of how work-related mitigations were applied across different phases of the pandemic are limited. This paper by PROTECT theme 3 researchers and the Virus...
This review, by PROTECT Theme 3 researchers and published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, aimed to provide an overview of the literature assessing the extent of COVID-19 transmission in the food processing sector along with...
This paper, produced by researchers from Theme 3 of the PROTECT study, uses nationwide population-level data for England to calculate the proportion of people in different occupational groups who had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine by 31 August 2021. The...
Interventions to promote the wearing of face coverings if required in the future can only be developed if we know why people do or do not wear them. In this paper, published in the British Journal of Heath Psychology, researchers from Theme 3 of PROTECT assess public...
