What role does public health play in keeping employees safe? How can we advocate for safer workplaces? How do we get our employees to “make safety first?” Some questions to guide the discussion:
1. Define occupational health.
2. Discuss challenges for the development of occupational health and safety.
3. Explain the scope of occupational health and safety.
4. Describe the interrelationship between occupational health and development
5. Identify the elements of a work environment.
6. Discuss the three common interactions in the work place.
7. Explain the interrelationships between work and health.
8. What is the difference between employee health and occupational health?
9. List some occupations that have statuary or regulatory occupational health requirements. Are these a benefit or an unnecessary burden? Why? Are any of these healthcare related professions?
10. What benefit, if any, accrues to the employer with a robust occupational health and safety program?
