The report opens with a discussion of factors that have altered the types of diseases encountered in workers and important to occupational health. These range from the new hazards introduced by industrialization in developing countries to the problem of identifying multicausal diseases, particularly when exposure to environmental pollution augments the effects of exposures at the workplace.

The report concludes with examples of the curriculum content of courses for training different categories of occupational health personnel.
