"Worker health protection"

A more detailed definition of the aims of occupational occupational and how this is achieved is:

"Occupational hygiene uses science and engineering to predict, identify, assess and control hazardous substances and other workplace hazards to prevent these hazards from causing ill-health in workers."

• Dust
• Respirable crystalline silica
