With many jobs exposing workers to hazards that can have long-term health effects, it’s important for occupational health professionals to establish whether any roles in an employee’s past could be behind their current symptoms, or flag up the need for further monitoring.
Recording workers’ occupational history can be important for identifying whether a health condition is work-related. But what should this include, and how might past hazard exposure affect their current situation?
On this OHW+ CPD webinar, delivered by Professor Anne Harriss, occupational health professionals will learn:
- Why taking an occupational history can be beneficial
- What should be included in an assessment, from a worker’s past exposure to hazards to the measures that were put in place to protect them
- What they should consider after a worker’s occupational history has been recorded, including whether any health surveillance is necessary.
This one-hour webinar took place on Tuesday 25 June. It features a presentation by Prof Harriss, followed by a Q&A session chaired by OHW+ editor Ashleigh Webber.
