N2  - There are multiple risks to men's health and safety in workplace settings. These include biological, chemical, physical, and mechanical agents. There are biologic and social characteristics of men that may place them at excess risk of exposure and response to these hazards. These exposures may threaten the entire family through secondary exposure in the home or through physical and psychological changes in the male. The key to minimizing or eliminating these hazards lies in the identification of the potential or actual exposures and effective education on protective measures. The nurse's role in this preventive approach is to incorporate occupational health data into each client assessment and to use this information to identify workplace exposures and appropriate worker education.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
