Publicación: London : Society of Occupational Medicine, 2019Descripción física: 21 p. Notas: Sumario: Historically, OH research has meant different things to different people and a single definition is yet to be established. A potential reason for this could be its growth, development and evolution over time. In its broadest sense, OH research is the scientific study of the interaction between work and health. It is multidisciplinary and covers a range of study areas including: occupational disease epidemiology, exposure assessment, toxicology and hygiene, sickness absence management, workplace and worker wellbeing/health promotion, evaluation of OH interventions and health economics. These different approaches provide complementary insights to the evidence-base, and its application to practice and policy. This report has approached the value' of OH research from a general OH perspective i.e. improving health, wellbeing and functional capability of the working age population, a societal and public health perspective and an economic perspective.Contiene: 1.
