Prevention
Effective prevention programs supported by employers and employees will mitigate the potential adverse health impacts of illness and injury.
Collaboration
Working with other physicians and community stakeholders (labour, employers, government, compensation boards and the insurance sector) to maximize the contribution that occupational medicine can make to worker well-being.
Understanding
Understanding the determinants of health in the workplace and evidence-based best practices in occupational medicine.
Enabling
Removing barriers to work for those with impairment, to provide a safe, supportive, and dignified work environment.
Integrity
Responding to workplace issues in a manner that is independent of the organization or individual requesting the response.
Vision Statement
Workplaces where the health and safety of employees are continually improved through the specialty practice of occupational medicine.
