Profession
Occupational Health Nurse
Health and safety in the workplace
An occupational health nurse looks after the health and safety of workers. You might treat injuries on the job, run health screenings and vaccination programs, assess whether an employee is ready to return to work, and help people manage conditions so they can work safely. You also walk through workplaces to spot hazards, advise managers on ergonomics and safety rules, investigate incidents, and keep confidential records. Your goal is preventing illness and injury as much as treating them.
