Occupational medicine

Occupational medicine is a type of medicine that helps to keep people safe and healthy at their jobs. It focuses on preventing illnesses, injuries, and other health issues that could happen while someone is at work. Doctors and other healthcare professionals who work in occupational medicine work to provide people the tools and knowledge they need to do their job safely. They do this by giving advice on topics such as safety gear, work postures, lifting techniques, and taking regular breaks. They also provide medical evaluations to make sure that employees can do their jobs safely. Occupational medicine makes sure that everyone is able to do their job without getting hurt!
