Workplace health
Workplace health, or occupational health, is a field of study in which a person looks for dangers or diseases that can occur at the workplace, and then finds preventive measures and treatments for work-related diseases or injuries. Examples of work-related conditions are carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries, chemical exposures, etc... A doctor of this specialty is an Occupational Health specialist, and usually has training as a primary care doctor.
