Abstract
By incorporating the principles of occupational medicine into their practices, physicians can better help those patients with job-related disorders and can improve the management of patients whose non-work-related conditions have implications for their employment. This article focuses on occupational history, physical examination skills, investigation of work sites, risk assessment, screening and surveillance, fitness-to-work evaluations and disability assessment, administration, prevention, health education and general communication, and ethical issues.
