Occupational health . . . take the robust approach
A robust programme of occupational health and safety at work enables employees to do their jobs without impediment. When healthy working conditions are achieved, ill-effects can be prevented, and a business is able to operate more efficiently.
Occupational hazards are not restricted to offshore or industrial workers: office, hospital and local authority employees are also exposed to hazards, particularly with the increasing use of chemicals and the increasing pace of work in these sectors.
Workers in the UK still suffer the consequences of exposure to the “classic” industrial hazards like silica, asbestos, noise and lead. The incidence of occupational disease directly due to work is frequently underestimated.
