Following the success of the fourth edition, which was highly
commended in the primary health care category for the 2018 British
Medical Association (BMA) Medical Book Awards, this fifth edition
has been substantially revised and updated to reflect significant
changes in health care practice and to incorporate the explosion of
information since the advent of the fourth industrial revolution
and the COVID-19 pandemic. As before, the book covers target organ
systems that can be affected by hazardous exposures in traditional
industries and modern workplaces, both of which coexist in
different parts of the world and present unique occupational health
challenges for the medical practitioner. To this end, this
reference textbook focuses on the clinical presentations,
investigations, and medical and work-centric management of affected
individuals. We have retained consideration of some special issues
relevant to occupational medicine practice in this new edition and
included a new section relating to the multidisciplinary nature of
occupational health practice.The main emphasis continues to be
prevention of disease and early detection of health effects caused
by work exposures. This edition of the book has been updated to
include new information and references. We have kept some of the
previous case studies and illustrations, and introduced several new
ones, some of which reflect the changes of practice due to the
COVID-19 pandemic - for example, in risk communication, recognition
and management of the risks of health care and frontline work. We
have again asked international experts in occupational medicine and
cross-disciplinary medical specialties to jointly author many of
the chapters. Some of the authors are from Asia, and others from
Europe, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. All the
authors have either clinical and/or academic experience in, or
related to occupational medicine practice.The book is targeted at
all those who are interested in the interaction between work and
health, and how occupational diseases and work-related disorders
may present and be managed. It will be of interest to medical
practitioners, especially those in primary care and doctors
intending to pursue a career in occupational medicine. It would
also be relevant for allied health and safety professionals wanting
to know more about health effects resulting from occupational
exposures. Other groups who may find this edition useful as a ready
reference are medical students, occupational health nurses, or
clinical specialists in diverse fields such as dermatology,
respiratory medicine, infectious diseases or toxicology.
