Occupational Health Surveillance focuses on the physical and
mental well being of the employees. It helps in the identification of workers
health status owing to determinants such as risk factors at the workplace
leading to cancers, respiratory diseases, hearing loss, stress related disorders
and others. It encompasses the social, mental and physical well being of the
employees. Work - related injuries or illness can have many serious direct and
indirect effects on the lives of workers and their families. Some of them are:
the pain and suffering of the injury or illness; the loss of income and
health-care costs. Not only the employees, it also affects the employers and
the wider economy – owing to the losses from early retirements, staff absence
and rising insurance premiums.

surveillance aspect in the industries. Vincense Digital
