WHAT IS
OCCUPATIONAL
HEALTH?
According to the World
Health Organization,
Occupational Health is an area of work in
public health to promote and maintain the
highest degree of physical, mental, and social
well-being of workers in all occupations.
 OBJECTIVES OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
The World Health 1. The maintenance and promotion of
workers' health and working capacity.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY VS
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
Occupational Safety covers the risk factor in
your workplace, and potential safety hazards
that could possibly cause injury.
Occupational Health, on the other hand, looks
at potential health concerns and wellbeing. Think
of Safety as an employee’s physical well-being,
and Health as everything else, including mental
health.
OCCUPATIONAL
Workplace
refers to the setting or space in which a

ENVIRONMENT VS
person performs their job duties. It is the
combination of three vital elements –
Physical Environment, Working Conditions,
and Company culture.

WORKPLACE Occupational Environment

tends to focus more on the job-specific
aspects and safety issues related to different
occupations. It often emphasizes the health
and safety aspects of the workplace,
particularly as they relate to occupational
roles and the potential hazards associated
with specific types of work.
WORKPLACE
HEALTH
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
defines workplace health as a coordinated
and comprehensive set of health
promotion and protection strategies
implemented at the worksite that includes
programs, policies, benefits, environmental
supports, and links to the surrounding
community designed to encourage the
health and safety of all employees
OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESSES
01
Exposure
the condition of being subjected to something (such as environmental conditions or
substances) that can have an effect on health, usually over a period of time.

02
Acute Exposure
symptoms appear immediately and are often intense, requiring immediate attention.

03
Chronic Exposure
prolonged contact to harmful substances, often leading to health effects that develop slowly
and last long.
OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESSES

04
Latency Period
describe the delay before the onset of effects resulting from exposure

05
Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)
a situation where people in a building suffer from symptoms of illness or feel unwell for no
apparent reason.
HEALTH HAZARDS
Health hazards are caused by any chemical or
biological exposure that interacts adversely with
organs within our body, causing illnesses or
injuries.
The degree of the hazard depends on the length of
exposure time and the amount or quantity of the
chemical agent. This is considered to be the dose of a
substance, collectively known as dose of substance.
A chemical is labeled as a poison if it causes significant
harmful effects or disrupts bodily functions.
A health hazard may produce serious and immediate
(acute) effects and symptoms. It may cause long-term
(chronic) problems or may have a long period between
exposure and the occurrence of the disease or illness
(latency period).
HEALTH HAZARDS
Dose is the combined effect of multiple
chemicals interacting to significantly increase
the risk of harm to the body, known as a
synergistic effect.
Dose is also the most important factor determining
whether or not someone will have an adverse effect
from a chemical exposure. Two components that
make up dose are as follows:
1. The length of exposure, or how long someone is
exposed—1-hour, 1 day, 1 year, 10 years, etc.
2. The quantity of substance in the air (concentration),
how much someone gets on the skin or breathes
into the lungs, and/or the amount eaten or ingested.
QUICK RECAP:

True or False: Any chemical is a poison.

HEALTH HAZARD PREVENTION
Occupational illnesses have some unique features that can be attributed to the
underreporting of them. The following is some information about occupational
illnesses:
They are more difficult to recognize or diagnose.

There is often a latency period between exposure and the

occurrence of symptoms.

There is not always a clear cause-and-effect relationship.

Root or basic causes are not clearly apparent.

It is difficult to determine a sequence of events.

HEALTH HAZARD PREVENTION
As with any problem, goals must set forth in order to address long-term
prevention. In the arena of prevention, the objectives for Healthy People 2020 are
as follows:

Reduce the rate of injury and illness cases involving days away
from work due to overexertion or repetitive motion.

Reduce pneumoconiosis.

Reduce the proportion of workers with elevated blood lead

concentration from occupational exposure.

Reduce occupation skin diseases or disorders among full-time

workers.
HEALTH HAZARD PREVENTION
As with any problem, goals must set forth in order to address long-term
prevention. In the arena of prevention, the objectives for Healthy People 2020 are
as follows:

Reduce new cases of work-related noise-induced hearing loss.

Increase the proportion of employees who have access to

workplace programs that prevent or reduce employee stress
 IDENTIFYING HEALTH HAZARDS
Five types of Health Hazards

Arise from excessive airborne concentrations of mists, vapors, gases, or solids

that are in the form of dusts or fumes. In addition to the hazard of inhalation,
many of these materials may act as skin irritants or may be toxic by absorption
Chemical Hazard
through the skin. Chemicals can also be ingested, although this is not usually the
principal route of entry into the body.
Example: battery acid and solvents.

Include excessive levels of nonionizing and ionizing radiations, noise, vibration,

problems.
 HOW TO FIND AND INVESTIGATE HEALTH
HAZARDS?
Finding health hazards is an investigative
process entailing a systematic approach that
requires that many facets and information
need to be reviewed, such as the following:
Prepare a list of known health hazards in
the workplace based upon records and
events.
Review the total facility, floor plans, and
work process diagrams to identify health
hazard sources and locations.
 HOW TO FIND AND INVESTIGATE HEALTH
HAZARDS?
Finding health hazards is an investigative
process entailing a systematic approach that
requires that many facets and information
need to be reviewed, such as the following:
Interview workers, supervisors, and managers to
identify known and suspected health hazards not
already on the list.
Make use of the five senses, and use an industrial
hygienist if validation of your observations is needed.
The industrial hygienist can perform accurate sampling
as well as give expert advice.
QUICK HEALTH HAZARD IDENTIFICATION CHECKLIST
What chemical substances are produced, used, handled, stored, or shipped in the
workplace?
Are any vapors, gases, dusts, mists, or fumes present (including chemical by-
products of work processes)?
Are biological substances (such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, dusts, molds, and
fungi) present in the workplace, the ventilation systems, and other components of
the physical plant?
Are physical agents (energy sources strong enough to harm the body, such as
electric currents, heat, light, vibration, noise, and radiation) present?
Are temperature extremes present?
QUICK HEALTH HAZARD IDENTIFICATION CHECKLIST

Do ergonomic hazards exist—such as work requiring lifting, awkward posture,

repetitive motions, excessive muscular force, or computer use?
Could any work processes, tools, or equipment cause health hazards (such as back
injuries, soft tissue injuries, whole-body vibration, hearing loss, infections, and so
forth)?
Could departures from safe work practices cause illnesses?
Can any potential health hazards be detected with the senses (smell, taste, touch,
hearing, and sight)?
Is there a presence of harmful stress in the workplace?
Are there any complaints from workers about workplace-related health problems?
