Abstract
Background: Understanding the nature and consequences of hazards and risks in the workplace is critical to protecting people from harm.
Educational case study: We review the fictional example of "Indiana" Jones as an educational vector to illustrate principles of occupational medicine in real-world scenarios.
Conclusion: After reviewing the Jones saga regarding potential hazards (physical - biological - chemical - psychosocial), we provide a practical outlook on the workplace health for readers with a non-occupational medicine background.
期刊介绍:
Aimed at clinicians and researchers, the Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology is a multi-disciplinary, open access journal which publishes original research on the clinical and scientific aspects of occupational and environmental health.
With high-quality peer review and quick decision times, we welcome submissions on the diagnosis, prevention, management, and scientific analysis of occupational diseases, injuries, and disability. The journal also covers the promotion of health of workers, their families, and communities, and ranges from rehabilitation to tropical medicine and public health aspects.
