For centuries, practitioners of medicine were concerned primarily with the treatment of illness and injuries. Only in the 19th century did we begin to recognize the importance of preventing illness and injury. Even so, emphasis on the effects that people's working environments have on their health has played a secondary role in the medical field until quite recently.
While medical science was in its infancy, the pioneering Hippocrates recognized and described the toxic effects of lead on those who worked with the metal. In our own country, not until the mid-1900's was anything substantially done to protect the health of working men. In the United States, over 100,000 persons still die annually from job-related causes.
Occupational health encompasses many programs of inspection, medical surveillance, and education. One of the major elements of occupational health is industrial hygiene, which is concerned with the identification, evaluation, and elimination or reduction of health hazards associated with the work environment. The major health hazards with which we are concerned are noise and toxic substances. As a preventive medicine specialist, you will be involved in the identification and evaluation of health hazards and in the evaluation of measures designed to control them.
This subcourse consists of four lessons as follows:
Lesson l. Introduction to Occupational Health.
Lesson 2. Control of Toxic Substances.
Lesson 3. Noise and the Conservation of Hearing.
