OSH professionals use education and experience to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control workplace risks. Their goal is to provide workplaces free from hazards that can cause injury, disease, or death. They work to prevent exposure to conditions and agents identified and treated by occupational health nurses and occupational medicine physicians. OSH professionals bring expertise in engineering, ergonomics, toxicology, chemistry, and statistics to help prevent diseases and injuries before they occur.

Specialties that have a more frequent relation with occupational diseases (pulmonary medicine, public health, internal medicine, otorynolaryngology, neurology, dermatology, physical therapy, and rehabilitation) and OPs, general practitioners and family medicine specialists in Turkey were targeted in this study. To reach these physicians, a physician is selected from each specialty who is a member of his/her specialty society e-mail group.
