Abstract: Previous publications in the field of Santa studies have not focused on health and safety issues arising from Santa’s workplace activities. However, it should be acknowledged that unique occupational hazards exist for Santa Claus. Major occupational health issues affecting Santa are discussed, along with suggestions for future research directions.

“…In addition, there are other examples from the OM field, including occupational health issues affecting Santa Claus7 and the use of Barbie to inform about workplace-related injuries, infections and personal protective equipment 8. Even James Bond has been used to communicate principles of travel medicine 9…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Indeed, Santa Claus has several risk factors leading to a propensity to tachycardia and increased sympathetic drive. These include commonly getting stuck in the chimney, 10 either anterograde or retrograde, frequently kissing children’s mummies, 11 and his insistence on wearing an ill‐considered fur‐lined red suit despite the highly variable climes in which he works, 12 ranging from the snowy wilderness of Siberia, to the blistering heat of an Australian beach on Christmas Day. A resting heart rate of less than 110 beats per minute should be the initial target of therapy 13 …”

“…To kanadiske arbeidsmedisinere varslet i 2015 om nissens belastende arbeidssituasjon både fysisk og psykisk (20). Nissen skal parkere, hoppe ut av sleden, hoppe ned i pipa, fylle julestrømpene, legge gaver under treet, klatre opp pipa igjen, komme seg opp i sleden til neste hus -alt dette i løpet av under ett tusendels sekund.…”
