Occupational health services in industry provide health care and preventive services in order to maintain the health of all employees, not just to provide medical care for the injured or those who have been made ill by a hazard. Thus, occupational health services may be divided into curative, or treatment-oriented, and preventive services. Occupational health services may be located in the plant, or off site. A corporate medical department usually coordinates occupational health throughout the enterprise. There should be a written occupational health policy that spells out the responsibility of employers for the health of workers and the responsibility of workers to report problems. Enterprises with more than 1000 workers usually need a full-time, in-house corporate medical department. This department should have a close working relationship with safety and occupational hygiene departments and they are often combined. It is generally better that the occupational health service not be managed under the department of human resources or personnel, where hiring and termination decisions are made and insurance claims are managed. Occupational health and safety must ultimately be the responsibility of supervisors and managers in production and they must be held accountable for injuries and avoidable hazards in the work areas they manage, with support from the occupational health service. The occupational health service has to be seen by the workers as neutral and working for their interests, not as looking for ways to fire them or to deny their claims. Occupational health services should maintain detailed records on the personal health of workers and should keep them strictly confidential. Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that is compulsory for employers in many countries.Less

More
Occupational hazards of a physical nature may be chemical, biological and physical. Exposure assessment is the process of measuring the intensity of exposures for the purpose of identifying hazards, classifying exposure levels and setting priorities for control. This must be done in the workplace itself. The professionals who conduct exposure assessment studies are called occupational hygienists. A typical exposure assessment first involves identifying which hazards are likely to be present and where they are likely to be in the workplace. The intensity of the exposure to specific hazards is then measured where they occur, using appropriate technology. Often, samples have to be taken for laboratory analysis but at other times the occupational hygienist uses portable instruments on the site. Building-related illness, which is often called “sick building syndrome” is a particular problem in exposure assessment. Workers in some buildings have unusually high rates of health complaints and symptoms. Building-related illness due to irritant exposures often causes symptoms in people with asthma and allergies, who tend to be much more susceptible to irritants, before other people even notice a problem. Occasionally, there is no cause and the reasons for the building-related illness are psychological, although one never assumes this until an assessment has been completed. Most often, it is caused by poor ventilation, especially when a building is airtight to save energy.Less

More
The recent and rapid expansion of occupational and environmental epidemiology and health risk assessment looks set to continue in line with growing public, government, and media concern about occupational and environmental health issues, and a scientific need to better understand and explain the effects of occupational and environmental pollutants on human health. Risks associated with occupational and environmental exposure are generally small, but the exposed population, and hence the population attributable risk, may be large. To detect small risks, the exposure assessment needs to be very refined. Exposure assessment is the study of the distribution and determinants of potentially hazardous agents, and includes the estimation of intensity, duration, and frequency of exposure, the variation in these indices and their determinants. Epidemiological studies can utilize information on variation and determinants of exposure to optimize the exposure-response relations. Many methodological and practical problems arise when conducting an exposure assessment for epidemiological studies and these are addressed in the book, as is the issue of measurement error and exposure misclassification and its effect on exposure response relationships. The book outlines the basic principles of exposure assessment, in both occupational and environmental epidemiology, since there are many similarities but also some interesting differences. It examines the current status and research questions in the exposure assessment of occupational and environmental epidemiological studies of allergens, particulate matter, chlorination disinfection by-products, agricultural pesticides, and radiofrequencies.Less

This chapter covers occupational and environmental hygiene principles and their application. This information is vital to understanding and preventing hazardous exposures and associated adverse health effects, among workers and the general population. The chapter addresses anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards, including toxic materials, noise, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, air pollution, water contamination, and related topics. Illustrative examples of these topics are described, such as common industrial processes that may result in exposure to hazardous agents, important exposure pathways, strategies to characterize exposure, the hierarchy of exposure control strategies, and known sources of environmental contaminants of concern. The chapter also includes lists of resources that provide additional information on relevant topics of interest.Less

This thoroughly updated seventh edition is a comprehensive, clearly written, and practical textbook that includes information on both occupational health and environmental health, providing the necessary foundation for recognizing and preventing work-related and environmentally induced diseases and injuries. National and international experts share their knowledge and practical experience in addressing a wide range of issues and evolving challenges in their fields. A multidisciplinary approach makes this an ideal textbook for students and practitioners in public health, occupational and environmental medicine, occupational health nursing, epidemiology, toxicology, occupational and environmental hygiene, safety, ergonomics, environmental sciences, and other fields. Comprehensive coverage provides a clear understanding of occupational and environmental health and its relationships to public health, environmental sciences, and government policy. Practical case studies demonstrate how to apply the basic principles of occupational and environmental health to real-world challenges. Numerous tables, graphs, and photographs reinforce key concepts. Annotated Further Reading sections at the end of chapters provide avenues for obtaining further infomation. This new edition of the book is thoroughly updated and also contains new chapters on climate change, children’s environmental health, liver disorders, kidney disorders, and a global perspective on occupational health and safety.Less
