| Resumen |
The forces discouraging the development of preventive services for hospital workers are reviewed, and the occupational hazards in the hospital environment discussed: accidents; infections; toxicological hazards; stress. A preventive programme for hospital workers must consider the population at risk and the occupational hazards to which it is exposed; identify specific risks and provide methods of monitoring them; keep accurate records; analyse data at periodic intervals to determine and revise policies. The basic elements of the programme are: the pre-placement examination; reporting and monitoring systems; health education. |
