abstract="It is a well-understood principle of public health--and of disease control in general--that preventive efforts must be consistent with the natural history of a targeted disease. Governmental standards-setting and enforcement policies in occupational health confuse short-term strategies for safety hazard control with long-term disease control. Recent decisions in mining to rely on &quot;significant and substantial&quot; acute risk are incompatible with medical and epidemiological evidence on the nature and progress of chronic disease in many industries.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
