Quatrième de couverture

People do not expect their work to damage their health, yet it is estimated that 7% of all general practice consultations are for illnesses thought to be caused by work. Changing working conditions in the developed world have meant that occupational illnesses are no longer as easy to identify as in the past. With the aid of full colour illustrations, the ABC of Work Related Disorders covers all the major disorders both mental and physical and debunks a few of the myths surrounding conditions such as "repetitive strain injury" and issues such as sickness absence. As well as giving practical guidance on diagnosis and management, it gives useful background information on the epidemiology of the major conditions. Chapters include: Specific conditions: hearing loss, asthma, back pain, neck and arm disorders, occupational dermatitis, occupational cancers, and infections Building related diseases Stress at work Absence from work Investigation of illness and evaluation of the workplace Women at work Legal aspects Edited by a leading authority in occupational health with chapters contributed by specialists experienced in work related disorders, the ABC of Work Related Disorders is an essential reference for all doctors encountering patients of working age.
