Abstract

ACCIDENTS AT WORK, OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES AND WORK-RELATED. DISEASES: TO SEE MORE CLEARLY. Occupational factors have a major impact on population health. Occupational diseases or work-related diseases and accident at work are diverse and multifactorial. Nevertheless, exposure to occupational risk factors and associated disorders are avoidable. Preventive actions must be applied and adapted to working conditions and working population characteristics. Recognition of the professional origins allows for treatment and various financial compensation. Medical professions have a major role in supporting patients by considering the possibility of a professional origin.
