  • Title: Protecting posterity: the occupational physician's ethical and legal obligations to pregnant workers.
    Author: Feitshans IL.
    Journal: Occup Med; 2002; 17(4):673-85. PubMed ID: 12225936.
    Abstract:
    This article describes Federal and international codes and laws that relate to protection from reproductive hazards in the workplace. Occupational health practitioners are advised to shift their approach from managing the technical aspects needed to protect individual workers to the more global approach of effecting policy and supporting enforcement in the realm of reproductive health. This broader view will not only better protect women and children but will better serve the interest of society in replacing all existing workers and perpetuating civilization for posterity.
