Abstract

The primary aim for occupational health care is to appropriately control risks related to health problems arising in workplace environments which are caused by work methods. Lowering risks might not always prevent accidents or illnesses; but initial treatment after an accident or of ill workers is crucial work for occupational health care staff. By implementing appropriate initial treatment, it is possible to increase the survival rate of workplace accidents and decrease the rate of illness. Crisis management at the time of an accident is a very important function of occupational health. Thus there is a close relationship between occupational health care and emergency medicine.
