Abstract Focus of Presentation The process and results of popularizing Occupational Health Epidemiology amongst Occupational Health practitioners in India during the covid-19 Pandemic in India through Webinars Findings The 25 webinars of average duration of 90 minutes, with contents relating to Covid-19 Epidemiology in India, generated immense interest amongst Occupational Health Practitioners with reference to innovative methods of data collection, analysis of data, results dissemination and integration of results in occupational Health practice during pandemic of Covid-19 in India. Conclusions/Implications Occupational Health Epidemiology is a neglected discipline in India. Innovative method of use of webinars amongst Occupational Health practitioners can be used for popularizing the methods, data analysis and results dissemination etc. It is expected that this interest shall be sustained in Post Pandemic period and the discipline of Occupational Health Epidemiology will get its rightful place amongst Occupational Health practitioners in India leading to research initiatives and application of results in the practice of Occupational Health in India.

Lost Productivity

Occupational health is the ‘promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental, and social well-being of workers in all occupations’. Work-related ill-health and injuries cause considerable mortality and morbidity to workers worldwide, and are a major cause of disability, lost productivity, and sickness absence. In the occupational setting, workers may suffer from occupational diseases (those directly caused by workplace hazards); ‘work-related diseases’ (those that are multifactorial in origin with occupational exposures contributing to part of the aetiology); and non-occupational diseases that affect the general population. Primary, secondary, and tertiary preventive measures can be used to reduce the burden of disease at the workplace. Prevention of occupational ill-health requires an understanding of the work processes, the range and extent of exposures to hazards, and the steps that may be available to reduce exposure. It also requires recognition of vulnerable occupational groups such as workers in developing nations, migrant workers, child labour, women workers, and impaired workers. The standard hierarchy of control strategies for reducing exposure to workplace hazards includes elimination, substitution, isolation, engineering measures, administrative procedures, and personal protective equipment. The workplace can be a suitable venue for health promotion activities although this should not be at the expense of elimination and control of exposure to occupational hazards. As occupational health practice has evolved to consideration of health issues beyond the ‘factory gate’, the discipline now has much in common with environmental health and encompasses the philosophy and principles of good public health practice.
