Week 8 Discussion

DQ1 Careers in Occupational Safety and Health

Rarely a day goes past without a reference in the newspapers, on the television or on the internet to illnesses or disabilities caused at work. In some cases, the effects may be reversible. In many others, detrimental effects on health cannot be overcome and can even shorten life expectancy. Occupational safety and health use science and engineering to prevent ill health caused by the environment in which people work.  It helps employers and employees to understand the risks and improve working conditions and working practices.
