• History Occupational Disease
• Back injuries in pyramid workers of Imhotep in ancient Egypt (2780 BC),
• Pliny dusty workplaces are associated with cough and shortness of breath (23-79 AC)
• Juvenal standing and varicose veins in workers and eye diseases in blacksmiths (60-
140 AC)
Georgius Agricola (1494-1555) made sense of the relationship between

radon gas and lung cancer, the relationship between dusty environment and
pneumoconiosis and called it “miner's disease”. He also made
recommendations for protection.
Paracelsus (1493-1541), on the other hand, emphasized the importance of

occupational health in the form of paying the health of the miners, and wrote
a 3-volume book.
Dr. Bernardino Ramazzini (1633-1714)

permanently brought the importance of
the relationship between work and
disease to medicine.
In Turkey;
With the Dilaver Pasha Ordinance in 1865, workers' rest and
accommodation places, holiday times and working hours were arranged to
improve the situation of workers working in coal mines.
With the Maadin Ordinance in 1869, it was compulsory to have a Mining

Engineer, a pharmacy and a physician in the mines.
The diagnosis of occupational disease proves that the business risks in the
workplace cannot be managed by the employer and that the worker is
therefore in a loss of function or disease.
In addition to the three occupational diseases hospitals (Ankara, Istanbul

and Zonguldak) currently in our country, public universities hospitals since
2008 and the Ministry of Health Education and Research Hospitals have
been authorized to issue health board reports since 2011.
Occupational disease is a temporary or permanent illness, physical or

mental disability that the insured suffers due to a recurring reason due to the
nature of the job he / she works or does, or due to the conditions of the job.
