Abstract
The legal knowledge and key points of legal response that independent occupational health professionals should master were discussed with four experts, providing a comprehensive overview. This topic was explored from diverse perspectives: the chairperson of the training committee of this Society for Occupational Health and Law, the director of research on roles and competencies required of occupational health nurses, a currently active professional with long experience as an independent occupational health nurse, and a lawyer who has interviewed independent occupational health professionals. Through this discussion, ‘Six Legal Areas Faced by Independent Occupational Health Professionals were identified.’
