ABSTRACT
Introduction Occupational health managers - people with direct responsibility for running an occupational health service - face unprecedented and conflict ing demands. Ethics often appears as yet another demand and an unattain able counsel of perfection. Indeed, learning about ethics in management can make us feel more guilty and make the work even more stressful. This chapter, however, shows how ethics can help managers in their work. It builds on Chapter 2 in which the concept of 'ethical occupational health management' was developed. This is both a way of managing and a set of tools, which brings back meaning and integrity into the often lonely, difficult and thankless task of managing an occupational health service.
