Disease Prevention Levels Approaches Occupational health

The prevention and control of occupational illnesses and diseases typically involves a combination of hazard identification, risk assessment, and control measures. This may include implementing engineering controls, such as ventilation systems or ergonomic workstations, as well as administrative controls, such as job rotation or work rest schedules. Personal protective equipment (PPE) may also be used to protect workers from exposure to hazards.
