Definition
Occupational diseasesare diseases caused by work or work environment
Work-related diseasesare diseases initiated, hampered or easy to get by work
![Page 3: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Occupational disease occur among workers exposed to specific hazards
In some situations may also occur among the general community as a consequence of contamination of the environment from the workplace.e.g lead, pesticides
![Page 4: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Occupational Disease occur as a result of exposure to physical, chemical, biological or psychosocial factors in the workplace.
These factors in the work environment are predominant and essential in the causation of occupational diseaseexp. Lead in the workplace essensial for
lead poisoning Silica silicosis

Occupational Diseases Factors
Occupational diseases are adverse health conditions in the human being, the occurrence or severity of which is realted to exposure to factors on the job in the work environment
![Page 6: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Major categories of occupational illness by organ system
Musculoskeletal disorders Respiratory disorders Neurologic and psychiatric disorders Skin disorders Reproductive and development disorders Cardiovascular disorders Hematologic disorders Hepatic disorders Renal and urinary disorders

Occupational Diseases FactorsPhysical Heat, noise, radiation
Chemical Solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, dust
Biological Tuberculosis, Hep. B, HIV
Ergonomic Repetitive motion, improper designed tools or work areas
Psychosocial stressor
Lack of control over work, inadequate personal support
Mechanical Mainly cause accident and injuries

Work Related Disease
WHO categories work related diseases as “ multifactorial” in origin
There are diseases in which workplace factors may be associated in their occurrence but need not be a risk factor in each case.
![Page 9: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Work related diseases occur much more frequently than occupational disaese.
They are caused by interaction of several extrinsic risk fact
![Page 10: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Work condition can aggravate pre existing disease– Hepatic dysfunction can be aggravated by
exposure to certain chlorinated hydrocarbons– Bronchial asthma can be aggravated by dust
exposure– Renal disease can be aggravated by inorganic
mercury, cadmium and certain solvents

frequently seen in the general community.- hypertension- ischaemic heart disease- psychosomatic illness- musculoskeletal disorders- chronic non specific respiratory
disease/chronic bronchitis

Differences between Occupational Disease and Work Related Diseases
Work Related Diseases Occupational Disease
Occurs largely in the community
Occurs mainly among working population
Multifactorial in origin Cause spesific
Exposure at workplace may be a factor
Exposure at workplace is essential
May be notifiable and compensable
Notifiable and compensable

Costs of occupational and work-related diseases
![Page 14: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recognizing Occupational Disease
The identification of work-related medical problems depend most importantly on the occupational history
![Page 15: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Occupational History
1. Description of all jobs held2. Work exposures3. Timing symptoms4. Epidemiology of symptoms or illness
among other workers5. Non-work exposures and other factors
![Page 16: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
History
Hippocratesthe standard three questions
recommended name, age and residence
![Page 17: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The component of an occupational history
Job description/nature of job Hours of work/shift work Types of hazards Past occupation Other jobs Domestic exposures Hobbies Do other workers have a similar illness ? Relationship of illness to period away from work
![Page 18: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Additional information in occupational history
Smoking/ alcohol intake/drugs Similar complaints among other workers Time relationship between work and
symptoms Degree of exposure Use of protective device Methods of materials handling

Screening for Occupational Disease
Screening Approach :1. History : questionnaire2. Physical Examination3. Tests :
1. Chest x-ray2. Pulmonary Function Test3. Biologic monitoring4. Audiometry

Occupational Disease in Developing Countries
Asbestos is the major cause of disability and ill health
Pesticide :– The majority of workers in developing
countries are in agriculture– Pesticide are often applied by hand, or without
proper protection of workers who use spray equipment

Occupational Dermatoses
The most common occupational diseases Are almost always preventable by a
combination environmental, personaland medical measures
![Page 29: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Type of occupational dermatoses
Acute contact eczema Chronic contact eczema Chloracne Photosensitization Hypo/hyperpigmentation Keratoses Benign tumors and epitheliomas Ulcerss

Occupational cancer
The cause of cancer is still not completely understood
Epidemiological studies has been associated with certain exposures
![Page 31: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Preventing Occupational Disease1. Measures Applied to the Process or Workplace
a. Substitution of a Non hazardous Substance for Hazardous One
b. Installation of Engineering Controls and Devicesc. Job Redesign,Work Organization Changes and
Work Practice Alternatives
2. Measures Primarily Directed Toward Workera. Education and Adviceb. Personal Protective Equipmentc. Organizational Measures
![Page 32: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
To prevent occupational disease effectively, health professionals must know how to anticipate and recognize conditions in those who present with symptoms and those who are presymptomatic
![Page 33: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The three levels of preventionPrimary Prevention
Is designed to deter or avoid the occurrence of disease or injury
Secondary Prevention
Is designed to identify and adequately treat a disease or injury process as soon as possible, often before any symptoms have developed
Tertiary Prevention
Is designed to treat a disorder when it has advanced beyond its early stages, to avoid complications & limit disability, to address rehabilitative and palliative needs
![Page 34: Occupational disease](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587a074b1a28ab01268b5c77/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Prevention of Occupational DiseasePrimary Prevention Secondary Prevention
Control of new hazards ScreeningControl of known hazardsEnvironmental monitoringBiological monitoringIdentification of vulnerable workers (pre employment medical examination)
Periodic medical examination
SubstitutionEngineering controls to minimise exposure
Personal Protective Devices

Prevention of Occupational Disease
Tertiary prevention aims to minimise the consequences in persons who already have disease
The goal is to limit symptoms or discomfort, minimize injury to the body and maximize functional capacity
