Occupational Medicine Information Occupational Medicine is a subspecialty of Preventive Medicine that focuses on the relationships among the health of workers, the ability to perform work, the arrangements of work, and the physical and chemical environments of the workplace. Practitioners in this field recognize that work and the environment in which work is performed can have favorable or adverse effects upon the health of workers; that the nature or circumstances of work can be arranged to protect worker health; and that health and well-being at the workplace are promoted when workers' physical attributes or limitations are accommodated in job placement.
