Occupational Medicine
Occupational Medicine is the medical specialty which covers the multi-faceted relationship between health and work. It is concerned with certifying that workplaces and work practices are safe and not dangerous to employees’ health and that employees are physically and mentally fit for the job they are doing. The occupational physician’s role is to advise on adaptability to the workplace, and/or to provide concerned advice and support to the employee, if there are problems, either with the workplace or with an employee’s fitness.
