| Abstract |
This guide explains how to define and operate medical surveillance programmes for acute and subacute effects of pesticide exposure. It includes guidelines for case investigation, data collection, outreach, and occupational hygiene education. Additional useful information for use both in the initial phases of developing a surveillance programme and the ongoing implementation of the surveillance system is provided in the appendices. The guide also addresses issues of capturing data on pesticide-related illnesses and injuries in workplace and non-workplace settings. |
