Resumen |
The article describes in some detail the history, aims, activities, structure and operation of the Employment Medical Advisory Service (EMAS), which grew out of the Medical Inspectorate and was set up in the United Kingdom in 1972. Its aims and activities include the development of occupational medicine in the U.K., epidemiological and other research, organisation of medical monitoring of workers, and assistance in the correct placement of individuals; it now employs 116 doctors and 72 nurses and support staff. Officers have powers to enter a factory if conditions there might be hazardous to health. EMAS is also active in rehabilitation, and plans are afoot to extend the service to school leavers before they take up employment. The current cost of the service is £3 million a year. |
