Slow Accident!
The raisons d'être of a health & safety culture are to protect human health and, of course, to protect the environment. Health and Safety are, therefore, inextricably linked.
Over time, ever-evolving safety systems and control mechanisms have driven down the number of acute injuries and deaths in the workplace.
As important as the prevention of accidents in the workplace is, there needs to be greater emphasis, awareness and focus on Occupational Health.The UK HSE figures for 2011-2012 (noted below) give a graphic illustration of why this re-focussing and added emphasis on Occupational Health is required.Slide4

The Silent AssassinIn the UK, lost work days from accidents - (slips, trips, falls from height, impact from dropped objects or by moving vehicles, cuts, burns, etc) amounted to 5.1 million days and there were 173 deaths (provisional HSE figure 2011/2012)
For the same period, lost work days from exposure to hazardous Substances amounted to 23.4 million days (a factor of nearly 5 times) and there were over 12,000 deaths (a factor of nearly 80 times) and that was just from 2 illnesses (Occupational cancers and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)).
Couple this with the numbers dying from other occupational induced diseases, and the figures for the UK (which the HSE predict will increase) are considerably higher.Slide5

Doing the right thingHowever, as staggering as these figures are, the prevention of exposure to hazardous substances forms just one part of the whole Occupational Health remit.Occupational Health is primarily about prevention and also encompasses, amongst other things
long-term strategic management of psycho-social ill-health (stress, depression psychosomatic illness etc)ill-health monitoringill-health surveillance (both statutory and preventative)
potable water management (Legionellosis, Cholera, E. coli, Dysentery, etc)monitoring of skin, vibration (HAVS, VWF, etc), hearing (noise induced hearing loss, tinnitus, threshold shift (temporary and permanent)), respiratory function (COPD, Occupational asthma, restrictive and obstructive airways disease)
Absence management (resulting from trauma etc, in addition to psycho-social illness(noted above)HRAsSlide9
