Occupational medicine ensures that workplaces and practice are safe and healthy, allowing employees to be fit for work and at the same time exposed to decreased health risk at the workplace. Occupational Medicine involves preventative programmes such as immunisations, health surveillance (e.g. audiology for noise exposure), rehabilitation of workers with an illness or disability, and advising organisations (governmental and business) on how to best optimise the health of their most important asset, their employees.
