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.
