In order to indicate priorities for possible occupational health care planning activities, we evaluated occupational health risks, health services, and occupational research and training in Israel from the perspective of occupational medicine in the United States. We used available public information as well as data collected in a previous regional assessment of occupational health in the Negev. We estimated that each year 35% of the workforce in Israel may be exposed to high levels of noise, 4-11% to workplace toxins, and 7% to work injuries, all hazards warranting attention by health planners. Reviewing occupational health services we found that programmatic deficiencies limit the effective use of existing resources. We also evaluated the potential benefits of strengthened expert review in setting funding priorities for research and training in occupational safety and health in Israel.
为了确定可能的职业卫生保健规划活动的优先事项，我们从美国职业医学的角度评估了以色列的职业健康风险、卫生服务以及职业研究与培训。我们使用了现有的公开信息以及在内盖夫地区先前的职业健康评估中收集的数据。我们估计，以色列每年有35%的劳动力可能暴露于高强度噪音环境，4%至11%暴露于工作场所毒素，7%面临工伤风险，所有这些危害都值得卫生规划者关注。审查职业卫生服务时，我们发现方案缺陷限制了现有资源的有效利用。我们还评估了加强专家评审在为以色列职业安全与健康研究及培训确定资金优先事项方面的潜在益处。
