Occupational Medicine
A branch of preventive medicine with some therapeutic function (Royal College of Physicians, 1978).
It begins as Industrial Medicine then it develops to Occupational Medicine then
to Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
![Page 29: Introduction & history of occupational medicine](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103010/5874586e1a28abd53e8b8f9b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

1- Health promotion for workers & proper prevention & ttt.
2- Work environment & its adverse effects on workers’ health
3- Health problems of workers at any workplace
![Page 30: Introduction & history of occupational medicine](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103010/5874586e1a28abd53e8b8f9b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Importance of the discipline
More than 2,000,000 people die from work-related accidents or disease every year, equivalent to 1 death every 15
seconds.
Progress in bringing occupational health to the industrializing countries is
painfully slow. In the poorest countries, there has been no progress at all.

Why its diagnosis is very critical?
1) Worker has the right to receive medical care at the expense of the employer.
2) Worker has the right for paid sick leave.
3) If disability occurs, the worker has the right for compensation.
