Vertigo is
a balance disorder that induces an abnormal sensation of spinning or movement
of the environment, even when an individual is stationary. Its causes stem from
two main factors: disruptions affecting the body's balance systems such as
inflammation and infections particularly in the vestibular system located
within the inner ear (Peripheral Vertigo), and cerebral conditions such as head
trauma, impaired blood circulation to the brain, or even tumors (Central
Vertigo).
This
balance disorder significantly impairs an individual's quality of life,
affecting daily activities and work environments. Vertigo sufferers experience
difficulty in performing physical activities such as walking, driving,
sleeping, and often endure fatigue, thereby reducing their overall quality of
life.
Vertigo
profoundly diminishes an individual's quality of life, impairing their ability
to engage in daily activities and navigate professional settings. Physical
exertion becomes arduous, sleep disturbances are prevalent, and persistent
fatigue exacerbates the condition, leading to a pervasive decline in overall
life satisfaction.
Vertigo
also poses significant challenges in the workplace, increasing the risk of
accidents and reducing productivity. Occupations involving heights, requiring
high concentration, extensive mobility, operation of heavy machinery, exposure
to unstable environments such as ships or offshore platforms, and hazards
involving exposure to hazardous chemicals are particularly unsuitable for
individuals with vertigo.
Conducting
comprehensive medical assessments during recruitment for a company is crucial,
especially for roles with elevated occupational risks, to determine whether
prospective employees exhibit symptoms of vertigo or potential related
ailments. Diagnostic measures such as medical history reviews, physical
examinations, Romberg testing, audiometry evaluations, and MRI scans are
commonly utilized to detect signs of vertigo and inform appropriate employment
decisions. Need assistant or further information about Recruitment and Annual
