What is the ILO's Approach to Preventing Occupational Diseases?
Preventing occupational diseases is a key focus of the ILO's work in toxicology. The organization promotes the adoption of a preventative approach through risk assessment, monitoring, and control measures. The ILO encourages employers to identify potential hazards, evaluate risks, and implement appropriate controls to eliminate or reduce exposure to toxic substances. Additionally, the ILO advocates for regular health surveillance of workers to detect early signs of exposure and prevent long-term health effects.
