1.Health and Safety innovations in the workplace, with low-cost and locally relevant solutions, have been initiated in several developing countries. However, occupational health remains neglected in most developing countries under the pressure of overwhelming social, economic, and political challenges. The traditional workplace-oriented occupational health has proven to be insufficient in the developing world, and tangible progress in occupational health can be achieved only by linking occupational health to the broader context of social justice and national development. A striking characteristic of occupational health in the industrialized world, and a message frequently disseminated in developing countries, is the contribution of science to progress in occupational health through data collection, ongoing assessment of problems, and innovative technological solutions. Occupational health researchers in industrialized countries investigate the effect of work on health, depending on a process that translates their scientific findings into policy.

A case in point is the earlier National Occupational Health Research Agenda in the United States, which, in spite of an iterative process of consultation, still focuses on disease and injury, work environment and workforce, and research tools and approaches. In short, we are all aware that all occupations are associated with occupational diseases and most of the Occupational Diseases are not curable but preventable. In this respect, Occupational health research should be “mainstreamed” as an integral component of public and environmental health research and placed in its broader social and cultural context by addressing issues such as globalization, the importation of health hazards, women at work, migrant workers, and child labor, in addition to the narrower social and economic burdens of work-related diseases and injuries. It is said that prevention is better than cure. Thus prevention of Occupational disease is based on two approaches.
