Abstract:
This review aims to provide a general resource for occupational health stakeholders. It also serves as a clinical guide for frontline providers and a policy framework for employers and regulators. Medical and surgical emergencies in occupational settings can cause serious harm if not identified and managed early. This review covers trauma, chemical exposures, thermal injuries, respiratory distress, and infectious hazards. We outline clinical signs, diagnostic steps, initial care, and follow-up plans. We also discuss preventive strategies such as hazard assessments and safety protocols. Evidence-based guidelines and practical methods can lower injury and death rates. Our objective is to help stakeholders recognize risks, respond fast, and improve outcomes. Future studies should monitor and examine new threats, such as novel industrial processes and evolving pathogens, to optimize workplace safety.
