Occupational Diseases – Selected References on the Internet |
| | Occupational disease is any disease arising out of and in the course of employment. Work-related
illnesses or diseases are those caused by physical, chemical, biological or other hazards in the workplace.
They can also include acute psychological trauma resulting from work. Some the issues regarding
occupational diseases are the correct diagnosis, medical causation (acceptance or denial of
compensability), and the nature of the disability – partial or total; temporary or permanent;
aggravation of an pre-existing condition or a new medical condition.
Below are some selected references that are available on the Internet.
