Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] oh history

Does anyone know the name of the person who first considered OH Hazards dating back to stoneage days...it sounds something like Ramanskin???

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Tracey

This influential chap, considered to be the father of occupational medicine, was called Bernardino Ramazinni and practiced in Padua, Italy in the middle ages. I am sure Google can come up with something about him but a better source would be Hunter's Diseases of Occupations. He could teach some medics a thing or too even now in the 21st Century
