What is Occupational Medicine?
Occupational Medicine is the area of Preventive Medicine concerned with the health, safety, and performance of workers. In addition to providing medical care to workers with work-related injuries and illnesses, Occupational Medicine specialists work with businesses, employees, regulators, insurers, public health, and other occupational safety and health professionals to create safer workplaces.
Why is an Occupational Health program important to an employer’s bottom line?
Healthy workers are more productive, and work-related injuries are very expensive. The direct costs of injuries that are easy to measure, like the cost of medical care and insurance costs, are small when compared to indirect costs associated with workplace disruption, retraining, lost productivity, etc.
