  • OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE PROGRAM HANDBOOK October 2005
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR OFFICE OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE PROGRAM HANDBOOK October 2005 This Occupational Medicine Program Handbook was prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Occupational Health and Safety, in consultation with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the U.S. Public Health Service’s Federal Occupational Health service. This edition of the Handbook represents the continuing efforts of the contributing agencies to improve occupational health services for DOI employees. It reflects the comments and suggestions offered by users over the years since it was first introduced, and addresses the findings, concerns, and recommendations summarized in the final report of a program review completed in 1994 by representatives of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. That report, entitled “A Review of the Occupational Health Program of the United States Department of the Interior,” was prepared by Margaret A.K. Ryan, M.D., M.P.H., Gail Gullickson, M.D., M.P.H., W. Garry Rudolph, M.D., M.P.H., and Elizabeth Odell. The report led to the establishment of the Department’s Occupational Health Reinvention Working Group, composed of representatives from the DOI bureaus and operating divisions. The recommendations from the Reinvention Working Group final report, published in May of 1996, were addressed and are reflected in what became this Handbook. First published in 1997, the Handbook underwent a major update in July, 2000. This 2005 version of the Handbook incorporates the updates and enhancements that have been made in DOI policies and occupational medicine practice since the last edition.

  • Standards, Principles and Approaches in Occupational Health Services
    STANDARDS, PRINCIPLES AND APPROACHES IN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES Jorma Rantanen, Igor A. Fedotov This article is based on the standards, principles and approaches embodied in the ILO Occupational Health Services Convention, 1985 (No. 161) and its accompanying Recommendation (No. 171); ILO Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) and its accompanying Recommendation (No. 164); and the Working Document of the Twelfth Session of the Joint ILO/WHO Committee on Occupational Health, 5-7 April 1995. The ILO Occupational Health Services Convention (No. 161) defines “occupational health services” as services entrusted with essentially preventive functions and responsible for advising the employer, the workers and their representatives in the undertaking on the requirements for establishing and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment which will facilitate optimal physical and mental health in relation to work and the adaptation of work to the capabilities of workers in the light of their state of physical and mental health. Provision of occupational health services means carrying out activities in the workplace with the aim of protecting and promoting workers’ safety, health and well-being, as well as improving working conditions and the working environment. These services are provided by occupational health professionals functioning individually or as part of special service units of the enterprise or of external services. Occupational health practice is broader and consists not only of the activities performed by the occupational health service. It is multidisciplinary and multisectoral activity involving in addition to occupational health and safety professionals other specialists both in the enterprise and outside, as well as competent authorities, the employers, workers and their representatives.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is also dedicated to this end, and through its Programme of Action on Worker ' s Health has sought to protect and promote the health of working populations throughout the world. In reaching toward these objectives, NIOSH and WHO have been able to collaborate on several projects . One project has now resulted in this text, A Joint Publication on Teaching Epidemiology in Occupational Safety and Health. This volume focuses on the need to train occupational epidemiologists in the recognition and evaluation of occupational diseases and injuries. It is a training tool that uses the case approach to instruct epidemiolgists.

  • Taking an Exposure History
    Case Studies in Environmental Medicine Course: SS3046 Revision Date: June 2000 Original Date: October 1992 Expiration Date: June 30, 2006 TAKING AN EXPOSURE HISTORY Environmental Alert Because many environmental diseases either manifest as common medical problems or have nonspecific symptoms, an exposure history is vital for correct diagnosis. By taking a thorough exposure history, the primary care clinician can play an important role in detecting, treating, and preventing disease due to toxic exposure. This monograph is one in a series of self-instructional publications designed to increase the primary care provider’s knowledge of hazardous substances in the environment and to aid in the evaluation of potentially exposed patients. This course is also available on the ATSDR Web site, www.atsdr.cdc. gov/HEC/CSEM/.

Novartis Business Services 6 Business Use Only An (old) Internist’s Perspective • The pace of true innovation in OH is far behind every other medical specialty. The law of process limits is largely ignored. OSHA is an impediment to advancement in the field. NIOSH relies on industry and academia for innovation. OEM has significantly ignored precision medicine, in favor of population health. • OH services are generally viewed by employers as a cost center. Medical Directors have not developed a value-based approach to occupational health. Without considering value, the practice of OH will always be under pressure.

  • Aspects of Practice
    ASPECTS OF PRACTICE Occupational health and the general practitioner ADRIAN SEMMENCE Civil Service Medical Adviser, London DOROTHY RADWANSKI Nursing Consultant, Civil Service Medical Advisory Service, London The future of general practice, how much of it is likely to be changed by outside influences and how much from within was debated at a recent annual meeting of the Royal College of General Practitioners in London (January Journal, p.53). A Select Committee of the House of Lords reviewing the provision of health and hygiene services in the UK has advocated a much greater involvement of the general practitioner in occupational health surveillance at a primary level.' The Asbestos Regulations that came into force in the UK last month will require new medical resources for their implementation. Health and safety legislation coupled with pressure from employees' organizations and the European Community will result in a marked increase in statutory medical examinations. A proposal for a second programme of action on health and safety at work has been made to the Council of the European Economic Communities. The implications of all these developments for general practitioners with an interest in occupational medicine are obvious. IN the absence of a generally accepted model for occupa- tional health and hygiene services in the UK such as exists for example in France, there are opportunities for experi- ment. At one end of the spectrum in the UK there are the .1 well developed occupational health services of industries :. such as coal, steel, electricity and atomic energy. At the other, equally hazardous occupations such as those in the W.
