Occupational health should always be treated on par with worker safety. 

The only difference between a miner injured on the job and one who is impaired from an occupational disease is that the former occurs very rapidly, while the latter occurs over a period of time. 

Accounting for occupational health involves a two-step process: 

• Anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling occupational health hazards leading to illness. 
• Applying appropriate new technologies, with an emphasis on exposure assessment and medical surveillance.
