expoquimR - Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Occupational Chemical Exposure Risk

Provides a unified toolkit for occupational chemical exposure risk assessment, implementing three internationally recognised methods end to end: the qualitative control-banding methods COSHH Essentials (UK Health and Safety Executive) and the method of the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS), together with the quantitative statistical procedure of the UNE-EN 689 standard for comparing measured exposure levels against occupational exposure limits. Every step of each method, from hazard banding and exposure scoring to lognormal or normal distribution fitting, one-sided tolerance limits, and monitoring-interval recommendations, is implemented as a small, independently callable, and unit-tested function, so assessments are reproducible and auditable without depending on any graphical interface. Optional 'shiny' applications provide a guided, interactive workflow for occupational hygienists and health and safety practitioners who prefer not to write code.

orisma - Occupational Risk Integrated Systematic Mapping and Analysis

A complete pipeline for systematic bibliometric mapping of occupational health and safety (OHS) evidence. Starting from reference files exported from major bibliographic databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Dimensions, EBSCO, and others, 'orisma' automates ingestion, deduplication, relevance filtering, occupational risk category extraction, bibliometric analysis, and report generation. The package is related to bibliometric science mapping and evidence synthesis workflows described by Aria and Cuccurullo (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2017.08.007>, Westgate (2019) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1374>, and Lajeunesse (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12472>, but adds a domain-specific occupational safety and health layer. The package implements three original bibliometric indicators: (1) the Worker-Risk Disconnection Index (WRDI), measuring the proportion of studies that characterise an occupational risk without including direct worker exposure data; (2) the Risk Category Saturation Index (RCS), measuring the relative over- or under-representation of each risk category relative to a uniform baseline; and (3) the Material-Gap Profile (MGP), measuring the ratio between a material's known hazard potential and its coverage in the occupational health literature. Two additional preventive intelligence indicators are provided: (4) the Abstract Sufficiency Score (ASS, 0-5), a cumulative hierarchical index of the preventively useful information contained in an abstract; and (5) the Bridge Article Score (0-5), identifying studies that simultaneously address technology, hazardous agent, worker population, exposure measurement, and preventive recommendations. Risk categories are extracted using a built-in occupational risk dictionary of 58 categories anchored in ISO 45001:2018, INSST, NIOSH, and EU-OSHA frameworks, organised in six blocks: Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomics, Psychosociology, Biological Hazards, and Emerging Technologies. The dictionary is user-extensible. Outputs include bilingual HTML reports, occupational risk sheets, priority reading rankings, guided extraction matrices for systematic review, and reproducibility certificates with MD5 hashes.
