Abstract
Despite the underreporting of occupational diseases in agriculture, available data clearly show a significant health risk, and therefore the need of health surveillance at the workplace. The implementation of health surveillance programs for agricultural workers relies on the possibility of creating a system able to reach the workers at their workplaces, with the collaboration of employers’ associations, able to support enterprises in several issues, including risk assessment and management. The health surveillance program can be organized in a component common for all workers, based on physical examination, chemistry, electrocardiography, hearing and lung functions examinations, and on tests addressing specific risks, if present: vibration, physical overload, chemicals, biological agents, allergens. The frequency of examinations must be decided based on risk assessment and health surveillance outcomesFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
