When this book was originally published in 1980, the speciality of occupational health nursing was only just beginning to be recognised by the nursing profession and the public although nurses had been doing the job for over one hundred years. One of the reasons for this may well have been the lack of nursing literature dealing with the subject. This book, written by tutors of Occupational Health Nursing Certificate Courses and practitioners in industry considers topics and concepts that give the specialism its unique character.
