Health in the workplace.
General good health and the prevention of specific "non-occupational" disease, in addition to protection against occupational disease and injury, are already part of the aim and function of occupational health services. They are justified, if at all, mostly on the grounds of intangible benefits the virtue of which is not questioned. Concern over health costs and financial constraints are forcing industry to justify health expenditure. Yet, the health programmes can be justified, and industry has some obligation to adopt them.
