The sequel toot - I was declared fit to work today! #working #nursing #nurse #student #occupationalhealth #winning

Yay! I was awarded a grant via @acoem in partnership with #CDC and CMSS to attempt to improve adult #vaccination rates in an #OccupationalHealth setting.

This is interesting because in #OccEnvMed we see lots of people that basically NEVER go to the doctor regularly, such as injured workers or those for pre-employment exams.

A small (but mighty) part of this is simply handing someone their #immunization record from our state's #PublicHealth dept. Hope that helps!

#Hypermobility and pain from a desk job. Surely I'm not alone in this struggle? #OccupationalHealth #Ergonomics

Outstanding piece by Sharon Lerner detailing a devastating #OccupationalHealth crisis, with a focus on the chemical #ortho-toluidine and its link to #BladderCancer. Sobering analysis of where #OSHA stands as an agency; its hands are tied, thanks to industry lawsuits and underfunding.

Working in extreme heat is risky for pregnant workers. Advocates say passing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act could help.

But time is running out to pass the legislation before the new congressional term starts. #ClimateChange #OccupationalHealth

i'm another one of those up-and-coming ex-Twitter people, and while i have no idea how frequently i'll be posting on #MedMastodon and #TooteRx, i figured i ought to introduce myself.

i work at a medical writing agency based in the US - those of you in #medcomms #medwriting, say hi!

outside of work, i'm passionate about learning about #publichealth #environmentalhealth #occupationalhealth, especially from an anticapitalist perspective.

i have a cute dog (pics to follow)

Back in 2015 (7 years ago!), ICOH (International Commission on Occupational Health) raised concerns about work-related fatalities in preparation of the #FIFAWorldCup.

To the best of my knowledge, #FIFA has not responded to ICOH.

#ICOH is the international #NGO, officially liaising with both #ILO and #WHO on #OccupationalHealth matters.

Update on Julie Taylor one of our LCNMUK advocates first week back #nurse 2hrs x 3 days

This is the affect of 2hrs work (at home)
Freezing to the core, Julie can hardly speak, she can’t function (I spoke to her hours after this video, she was stuttering, delayed recall, using wrong words) #LongCovid

How damaging could a 4 week phased return be ? Aiming for full time hours in such a short space of time when this is happening after 2 hours! #NotSustainable #LongCovidWork #OccupationalHealth

OK, where are the #OccupationalMedicine, #OccupationalHealth, #OccupationalHygiene, #OccupationalPsychology, #WorK #Stress specialists, #Ergonomists, #Occupational #Epidemiologists ... and all #Work and #Health experts on Mastodon?
