Even beautiful outdoor workplaces can lead to disease. Occupational hygiene is about recognising, evaluating and controlling health hazards arising from work, and one example of this is pesticide exposure in orchard cultivation.  The April issue of BOHS's journal, Annals of Occupational Hygiene, includes a paper on this problem.  This photo of a peach orchard in Louisiana is by courtesy of Kevin Hawkins, Hawkins Photography, Ruston, LA, USA, www.hawkinsphoto.com.  Hygienists can help you find a pot of gold in your workplace, not ill-health and expense.  Click here to see the full-size picture.
