【 摘 要 】

Accidents and acute medical events at workplaces are unfortunately not rare events—the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that 313 million people are injured and 350.000 are killed in work-related accidents annually (1). The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for action dealing with all aspects of workers’ health, including primary prevention of occupational hazards, protection and promotion of health at work, improved employment conditions, and a better response from health systems to workers’ health (2).
