Call for radical overhaul of UK’s approach to occupational health

The British Occupational Hygiene Society has called for a radical overhaul of the UK’s approach to occupational health. The Society is calling for a rethink of the current approach that invests heavily in trying to treat occupational illness and disproportionately focuses on safety. Instead, the Society believes that prevention of health risk as part of national strategies for “Sustainable Workplace Health” is required.
