Subsequently, patients may be compensated for health damage. The chapter categorizes the diseases according to the inducing risk factors. Specific examination and diagnostic procedures, as well as basic assessment principles, are explained for every disease. Finally, the chapter presents current data on the number of diseases and provides recommendations on how to proceed in case of a suspected occupational disease. |
