Global Occupational Health is a concise, complete introduction to a
vital-but often neglected-area in the field of health sciences.
Work-related illnesses and injuries are critical concerns for every
country and at every stage of economic development and an important
determinant of health and financial security for working adults and
their families. As a comprehensive textbook designed for students,
professionals in public health, and occupational health
practitioners who are working across international boundaries, this
book will provide the reader with solid foundational knowledge of
occupational health through the lens of economic development.
Perfect for use as both a stand-alone text or as supplementary
reading, this book addresses worker protection and the management
of occupational health from rich industrialized countries to
developing societies.
The first section of the book concentrates on broad approaches and
frameworks for the investigation and management of health in the
workplace. The second section addresses important hazards. The
third section addresses specific industry sectors, management
challenges, and policies at the global level. Each chapter links
occupational health to economic development concepts and future
trends. The contributed chapters are authored by international
experts in the field, enriched by boxed case studies and supportive
concrete examples. This work sets a new standard for education in
occupational health.
