Occupational Medical Surveillance Program

Healthcare professionals tend to not consider occupation or environment as a cause of sickness during the process of differential diagnosis. Lack of curiosity about what people are doing and spending half of their waking hours means that possible subtle influences of work on health are commonly missed by doctors, and the perception that work-related ill health is rare is thus reinforced. A high degree of informed suspicion is the principal tool for correct diagnosis of occupational disease.
