The goal of a multidisciplinary occupational health and safety team is to design,
implement, and evaluate a comprehensive health and safety program that will maintain and
enhance health, improve safety, and increase productivity. Such programs often provide
similar results for the families of workers, with resultant financial and other benefits
for the corporation. Occupational health and safety professionals include
occupational and environmental health nurses, occupational medicine physicians,
industrial hygienists, safety professionals, and occupational health
psychologists. Other related members of the
multidisciplinary team are ergonomists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, human resource specialists,
and industrial/organizational psychologists.
