IOSH OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH TOOLKIT NOW COVERS PREGNANCY, DIABETES AND STROKES ALONG WITH STRESS, MUSCULOSKELETAL PROBLEMS, SKIN AND INHALATION DISORDERS
Pregnancy and diabetes being the most common health issues at work have now been added to the range of other topics covered by the Occupational Health Toolkit.
The Executive Director of Policy at IOSH mentioned that these two topics have been added to the new segment of the kit. He explained that the service team is constantly engaged in research to keep their information in line with the modern times.
Dr. Luise added that every topic comes with fact sheets, training materials and case studies to make it easier for its users. Hence, the kit proves to be a good source of information for companies and staff who otherwise get confused, as there is a lot of information provided.
He looked back at the time when IOSH’s OH Toolkit had started in 2007; it was praised for its feasibility by the Government’s Director of health and work. They considered Dame Carol’s suggestion of adding more information like health issues that are not related to work. This made it the user friendliest kit for health related guidance, also the most effective one at that.
In a couple of months they plan to add a new segment dedicated to work related cancers and provide more information on health related issues that are not concerned with work so that its users can gain more out of it.
