This paper examines the conflict between the medical monitoring of workers and human rights. A lead regulation in force in Ontario, despite its absolute conflict with an important guideline established by the Canadian Human Rights Commission, is presented as an example of the erosion of human rights by certain legislated activities in occupational medicine. The question of whether the benefits of occupational medical activities outweigh the disadvantages attendant upon the erosion of human rights is raised. It is concluded that these are political and ethical issues, not merely technical ones, and should be debated publicly.
本文探讨了对工人的医学监测与人权之间的冲突。安大略省实施的一项主要法规，尽管与加拿大人权委员会制定的一项重要准则存在绝对冲突，但被作为职业医学中某些立法活动侵蚀人权的一个例子呈现出来。文中提出了职业医学活动的益处是否超过人权受到侵蚀所带来的不利影响这一问题。结论是，这些是政治和伦理问题，而不仅仅是技术问题，应该进行公开辩论。
