The Year 2000

Abstract

in this project.AAOHN represents the largest group of health care providers at the worksite, with 65% to 75% of our members being the sole health care providers at their worksites.Occupational health nurses provide direct care for injured and ill workers, health surveillance, safety and prevention services for a safe and healthy workplace, and health promotion and risk reduction programs for general good health of workers.Occupational health nurses work alone or as members of health care teams. Many provide leadership and management for comprehensive and complex occupational health programs. A primary concern for occupational health nurses traditionally has been health promotion and disease prevention.Part one addresses general health promotion activities that may be provided at the worksite. Part two addresses specific occupational safety and health concerns.
