Q & A

What is the main topic of this lecture?

The lecture focuses on occupational diseases and their management, particularly the causes, diagnosis, and prevention of work-related illnesses.

What are the key objectives of this lecture?

The objectives are for students to understand the causes of occupational diseases, how to diagnose them, and the necessary steps for treatment and prevention in the workplace.

What are some examples of occupational diseases caused by physical factors?

Examples include hearing loss from noise exposure, vibration syndrome from prolonged exposure to vibrations, and illnesses caused by high or low temperatures and infrared or ultraviolet radiation.

What biological factors can cause occupational diseases?

Biological factors like viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi can lead to diseases such as malaria, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and tetanus in the workplace.

What are some occupational diseases related to the respiratory system?

Respiratory diseases include pneumoconiosis caused by exposure to mineral dust, asbestosis from asbestos exposure, and bronchopulmonary diseases caused by exposure to metal dust or cotton dust.

What criteria are used to diagnose occupational diseases?

The criteria include a clear relationship between specific exposure and the disease, a higher occurrence of the disease in workers compared to the general population, and the possibility of preventing the disease with appropriate workplace measures.

What are the key goals of diagnosing occupational diseases?

The goals include ensuring workers' rights, guiding treatment to prevent disability, and protecting other workers from similar risks.
