“…This explains why on the days with ME in the office between 30-45 minutes were dedicated to unscheduled consultations, disrupting the order of the scheduled examinations, to which almost 3 additional consultations were added on each of these days. In the past, the existence of a company office dedicated to work-related emergencies and health hazards was the rule, but industrial restructuring favored the outsourcing of these services, and their conglomeration with administrative ones, becoming secondary in favor of the company's financial profitability [5].

Since 1986, the American College of Emergency Physicians has defined the role of the emergency physician with additional skills in OM, considering the growing interest in this category of patients since those years, but there was also the problem that OM physicians and office staff be trained in providing emergency care [4,5]. In Romania, the ages between which an individual can work are 18 to 65, for men, and 61 years and 9 months for women respectively, in 2022, with a gradual increase until 63 years in January 2030 [6].…”

“…Table 1 lists some of the ways by which the occupational medicine service can assist in a true emergency. 4 The most critical part of the infrastructure of any enterprise is the people who work in that enterprise, particularly those with experience and those who occupy key production jobs.
