You sing what song depending on which side you stand – this is the occupational health section; today we’ll learn a bit about what \"occupational health\" means In GBZT224-2010, \"occupational health\" is defined as the science of identifying, assessing, predicting, and controlling occupational hazards that are generated or present in the workplace, as well as their health impacts. Its purpose is to prevent and protect workers from the health effects and risks caused by such hazards, to adapt work to the workers, and to promote and ensure their physical and mental health as well as social well-being during their occupational activities. Occupational health focuses on the health issues that arise during various types of occupational work. Its goal is to protect workers’ health from harmful factors throughout their professional activities, which includes examining the impact of the working environment on workers’ health as well as strategies for preventing occupational hazards. Only by creating reasonable working conditions can all workers maintain health in terms of physical, mental, and social adaptation. Only by preventing occupational diseases and work-related illnesses can illness, injury, and absenteeism be reduced, thereby improving labor productivity. Therefore, occupational health actually refers to the prevention of damage or diseases caused by occupational hazard factors in various types of work, and falls within the scope of preventive medicine. Conclusion: Occupational health is a science that falls within the scope of preventive medicine.
