What are the Key Interventions in Occupational Health?
Several key interventions are used to improve occupational health, including:
Engineering controls: Modifying equipment or processes to reduce exposure to hazards. Administrative controls: Implementing policies and procedures to limit exposure, such as job rotation and work-rest cycles. Personal protective equipment (PPE): Providing workers with gear such as gloves, masks, and ear protection to reduce exposure. Training and education: Ensuring workers are informed about hazards and trained in safe work practices. Health promotion programs: Initiatives that encourage healthy behaviors among workers, such as smoking cessation and physical activity programs.
