Epidemiologists use various methods to study occupational health, including:
Cohort studies: Following a group of workers over time to observe the development of health outcomes related to specific exposures. Case-control studies: Comparing workers with a particular health condition to those without to identify potential risk factors. Cross-sectional studies: Assessing the health status and exposures of workers at a single point in time. Surveillance systems: Monitoring and collecting data on work-related injuries and illnesses to identify trends and emerging issues.
