"Ce rapport envisage comment se prévaloir des modifications apportées dans les domaines de l'éducation et de la formation pour faire face à l'évolution constatée dans les maladies liées à la profession. Il met l'accent sur la nécessité d'adapter les pratiques suivies en médecine du travail aux conditions créées par le développement dynamique de l'industrialisation dans le monde entier. L'ouvrage commence par un examen des facteurs qui ont modifié le type de maladies frappant les travailleurs et qui sont importantes pour la médecine du travail. Il s'agit aussi bien des risques nouveaux consécutifs à l'industrialisation dans les pays en développement, que du problème des maladies multifactorielles, surtout lorsque l'exposition à la pollution de l'environnement s'ajoute aux effets de l'exposition au lieu de travail. Les sections les plus importantes du rapport portent sur les objectifs de la formation pour les étudiants en médecine, les infirmières spécialisées en médecine du travail, les hygiénistes du travail, les agents de soins de santé primaires, et les chercheurs et enseignants en médecine du travail. Le rapport s'intéresse aussi à la formation continue, au rôle des organisations professionnelles et aux diverses étapes intervenant dans l'élaboration d'une politique des personnels, destinée à répondre aux besoins nationaux en matière d'hygiène et de sécurité du travail. Enfin quelques exemples du contenu du programme de formation sont présentés pour différentes catégories de personnels affectés à la médecine du travail"

"Considers how changes in education and training can be used to cope with new patterns of work-related diseases. Emphasis is placed on the need to adapt practices in occupational health to conditions created by the dynamic development of industrialization throughout the world. The report opens with a discussion of factors that have altered the types of diseases encountered in workers and important to occupational health. These range from the new hazards introduced by industrialization in developing countries to the problem of identifying multicausal diseases, particularly when exposure to environmental pollution augments the effects of exposures at the workplace. The most extensive sections of the report examine training objectives for medical students, occupational health nurses, occupational hygienists, primary health care workers and researchers and teachers in occupational health. The report concludes with examples of the curriculum content of courses for training different categories of occupational health personnel

"La première infirmière du travail a été recrutée en 1878 dans la moutarderie Coleman de Norwich à l'est de l'Angleterre. A l'époque, une partie de son travail consistait à rendre visite au domicile des travailleurs malades. Aujourd'hui, elles sont plus de 3.000 sur le sol britannique. Si l'exercice du métier a beaucoup évolué, il reste marqué par cette image de bienveillance. Il n'est pas aisé dans ce contexte de trouver sa place entre soutien aux travailleurs et préservation des intérets des employeurs."

"The first occupational health nurse was recruited in 1878 to work at the Coleman's mustard factory in Norwich. Part of her job was to visit sick workers in their homes in the afternoons. There are today some 3 000 occupational nurses in the United Kingdom. While the nature of their duties has evolved considerably over the years, the profession's image continues to be marked by its history. It is not always easy, accordingly, for practitioners to know exactly where they stand between their role in offering support to workers and that of preserving employer interests."

"This document describes the role of the occupational health nurse in Europe, and whilst recognizing the wide variation that exists in occupational health nursing practice between different countries this document reflects the standards that have already been achieved in those countries where occupational health nursing is at its most advanced. Within the WHO European Member States the discipline of occupational health is undergoing rapid development. This is largely due to the new demands and expectations from employers, employees and their representative bodies as they recognize the economic, social and health benefits achieved by providing these services at the workplace. The rapid development of occupational health services has also, in part, been driven by the expanding program of EU legislation in the areas of health, safety and environmental protection and the need by employers to respond to this legislation. In addition occupational health services, provided at the workplace to address the health care needs of working populations have been identified as an important component of the public health strategy. These services can also make a significant contribution to other government initiatives, such as; reducing health inequalities, reducing social exclusion and sickness absence, and by protecting and promoting the health of the working population occupational health services can help to reduce the overall burden of ill health in Europe. Occupational health nurses, as the largest single group of health care professionals involved in delivering health care at the workplace, have responded to these new challenges. They have raised the standards of their professional education and training, modernized and expanded their role at the workplace, and in many situations have emerged as the central key figure involved in delivering high quality occupational health services to the working populations of Europe. Occupational health nurses, working independently or as part of a larger multiprofessional team, are at the frontline in helping to protect and promote the health of working populations."
