ABSTRACT
The importance of occupational health practice principles in the delivery of health care to the working population is stressed by the authors' management of an incident of occupational pesticide poisoning. The clinical management of the patients involved, as well as the occupational and environmental health management of that incident, is discussed. An illustrative case report is used to describe an occurrence of carbofuran pesticide poisoning in three female farm workers in Jamaica. This report highlights the implications and significance of this incidence in terms of the sensitivity of the medical profession to similar occupational health problems (AU)
