Document Summary

Exemption of human activity and occupation as processes affecting human health. Medical conditions, disorders and diseases of occupational origin. To establish what exactly human occupation is, one must consider the following: Some descriptions of occupation are; continuous activities having a purpose, ordinary/familiar things people do daily, doing culturally meaningful work, play, or daily living tasks within a physi- cal and sociocultural context. Think of your home, the community where you live, the stores where you shop, the people you run into everyday - these are the places you occupy. Occupations are groups of activities and tasks of everyday life, names, organized, and given value and meaning by individuals and a culture. Occupations include everything that people do to occupy themselves, including looking after themselves (self-care), enjoying life (leisure), and contributing to the social and economic fabric of their communities. An occupation is not just a job or something that keeps us busy.
