Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Poisoning & Drug Overdose, 7e AB - This chapter highlights common toxicologic problems in the workplace. Occupationally related disease is encountered commonly in the outpatient setting. Estimates of the proportion of occupationally related medical problems in primary care practices range up to 15–20%, although this includes many patients with musculoskeletal complaints. However, approximately 5% of all symptomatic poison control center consultations are occupational in nature, suggesting a large number of work-related chemical exposures do occur.
