Proportionality refers to the principle that any action, investigation, restriction, or deferral imposed during a fitness-for-work assessment should be commensurate with the actual risk posed to the worker, co-workers, or the public. It is a cornerstone of ethical occupational medical practice and underpins all fitness decisions. In this episode of Dr Ye Ko discusses about Proportionality in Occup...
