Occupation health is your health in relation to your workplace. For example, if you work with chemicals, your occupational health is how your health is affected by the chemicals you work with, and how your exposure to these chemicals could be reduced by local ventilation, face masks, full body protection or even replacement of the harmful substance by a less harmful alternative.
The last alternative, replacement, is the preffered solution to improving occupational health, although if that is not possible your employer should take lall steps reasonably practicabe to isolate you from the harmful substance.
Occupational health is distictly different from occupational safety, where a distinction is made from the likelhood of personal injury as opposed to health issues.
