The concept of occupational health has come a long way from its roots in 16th century Europe to its integral part of today's military workforce. The successful application of occupational health principles and practices increases productivity and workforce morale, reduces staffing and labor costs, prevents accidents and hazards, and produces an overall higher quality of work. Written and compiled by experts in the occupational health field, this comprehensive 19-chapter book addresses occupational threats from the environment, military equipment, and deployed situations such as dangerous exposures to lead, laser radiation, and chemical weapons. The authors discuss a wide breadth of topics, from assessment and preventive measures that lead to broader programs, such as those of hearing and vision conservation, ergonomics, and crew vulnerability, to the development, practice, and application of medical surveillance. Troop readiness and mission effectiveness are intrinsically linked to medical cost reduction and better and smarter ways to manage medical resources. Awareness, education and training, and investments in management systems and infrastructure are key components to successful occupational health outcomes.
