Background

About Craig White

I was locally trained in Perth, Western Australia and work within Sonic HealthPlus as WA’s State Medical Officer and Consultant Occupational and Environmental Physician (OEP). As an OEP I am highly trained to focus on the effects of work on health and (conversely) health on work. I understand the full range of workplace and environmental hazards (chemical, physical, biological & psychosocial), associated risks of exposure to such hazards, and how these may cause an adverse impact on biological health, such as injury or illness. I have extensive knowledge of all occupational/work groupings, and understand the nature of such work in terms of inherent task requirements, environment, and human ergonomics. From an environmental medicine perspective I understand and engage in prevention, research, investigation, assessment and treatment of human health impacts of industrial activities (including primary industry) on the environment including and beyond the confines of the industrial site.
