1. Silicosis: This is a lung disease caused by inhaling silica dust, commonly found in industries such as mining, construction, and manufacturing.
2. Noise-induced hearing loss: This is caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and mining.
3. Asbestosis: This is a lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, commonly found in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and mining.
4. Dermatitis: This is a skin condition caused by exposure to irritants or allergens in industries such as cleaning, healthcare, and manufacturing.
5. Musculoskeletal disorders: These are conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, and nerves, caused by repetitive movements or poor ergonomics in industries such as agriculture, construction, and healthcare.
6. Respiratory diseases: These can be caused by exposure to harmful substances such as dust, fumes, and chemicals in industries such as mining, manufacturing, and agriculture.
7. Occupational cancers: These can be caused by exposure to carcinogens in industries such as mining, construction, and manufacturing.
The route of entry for these occupational diseases at work is typically through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with harmful substances or conditions present in the workplace.
