Médecine du travail

Médecine du travail, or occupational medicine, focuses on the health and well-being of employees in the workplace. It involves assessing and managing workplace-related health risks, preventing illness or injury, and promoting a safe working environment. Professionals in this field evaluate how work conditions—such as physical, chemical, or psychological factors—affect workers’ health. They also provide guidance on workplace ergonomics, conduct health screenings, and ensure compliance with health regulations. The ultimate goal is to enhance employee health, safety, and productivity while reducing the incidence of work-related diseases and injuries.
