  • Title: Understanding stress in hazardous waste workers.
    Author: Fiedler N.
    Journal: Occup Med; 1990; 5(1):101-8. PubMed ID: 2405509.
    Abstract:
    In summary, hazardous waste workers comprise a unique occupational group that may be at risk for stress-related illness due to the unusual demands of their work. Occupational health professionals responsible for their surveillance should include surveillance of their mental as well as physical health. When symptoms of stress are evident, both organizational and individual programs may be needed to address these symptoms. Denial of the risks involved should not be promoted, given the potential such denial may have for careless work practices.
