Healthcare workers should recognize the value of the occupational health professionals (OHPs) who are responsible for their health and safety. That’s the message coming from the Association of Occupational Health Professionals in Healthcare (AOHP) in the form of a Position Statement on The Critical Role of Occupational Health in Healthcare, which seeks to shed light on the vital role OHPs play in the industry.
According to the statement, OHPs “must continually learn new skills, adapt current practices to meet changing needs, and develop innovative approaches to solving problems."
