In the last two decades, there have been dramatic developments in the field of occupational health. With it, the importance of occupational health training and education is greatly appreciated. In a worldwide questionnaire survey on occupational health teaching in schools of medicine, 69.9% of the schools have some form of occupational health teaching for medical undergraduates. The total number of hours varies considerably but on average is 32.7 hours. Some occupational health teaching might however have been classified under other subject headings. In the Asia-Pacific region, several postgraduate degree courses were recently established. Continuing educational courses and short courses are on the rise. To take advantage of the existing primary health care systems, special courses for public health workers and primary health care personnel have been conducted. In the past, interest in occupational health education and training tended to be overshadowed by advances in epidemiology and pathogenesis of occupational diseases. Based on our experience over the past few years, occupational health training and education will gather greater momentum worldwide and in the Asia-Pacific region in particular.

Occupational Hazard

Background: Health care sector is clearly a high-risk sector for acquiring occupational hazards and have given rise to a debate on the need for a specific approach in order to improve the protection of the health and safety of hospital personnel. Many health care professionals in hospitals are exposed to significant occupational health hazards and consequently are at high risk of work-related diseases. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice of medical students on occupational hazards faced by health care professionals.Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 235 undergraduate medical students was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire.Results: All the respondents stated that they were aware of occupational hazard in their profession. 60% responded that biological hazards have maximum chance to occur at their working environment. 66.8% feared that occupational hazard can hamper their performance and 63.4% were of the view that animal simulation methods/manikins can minimize the risk of occupational hazard. 72.8% stated that clinical wards are the most likely place for occupational hazard and air-borne infection is the commonest source. Most respondents (97.4%) would like this topic to be included in the Undergraduate curriculum and 98.3% respondents were willing to attend a training programme about occupational health and safety.Conclusions: Hospital should provide personal protective equipment’s and look after adequate waste disposal systems to prevent the occurrence of health hazards in hospitals.
