Il est souvent décrit comme le "précurseur" d'une médecine du travail inventée au xixe siècle. En 1700, Ramazzini, médecin à l'université de Modène, publie à Padoue son monumental De morbis artificum diatriba (Traité des maladies des artisans), encore réédité et qui, pendant deux siècles, servira de référence. Il fut traduit en français, commenté et enrichi par Antoine-François Fourcroy en 1777. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Bernardino Ramazzini, (born October 4, 1633, Carpi, duchy of Modena [Italy]—died November 5, 1714, Padua, Republic of Venice), Italian physician, considered a founder of occupational medicine. A professor of medicine at the University of Modena (1682-1700) and an early student of epidemiology, he described outbreaks of lathyrism (1690) and malaria (1690-95) in Italy. A strong proponent of the use of cinchona bark in the treatment of malaria, Ramazzini recognized the introduction of this medicament (from which the alkaloid quinine is derived) as a revolutionary event in the history of medicine, completing the downfall of the classic Greek physician Galen's medical theories advocating administration of purgatives in the treatment of disease. Ramazzini wrote De Morbis Artificum Diatriba (1760; Diseases of Workers), the first comprehensive work on occupational diseases, outlining the health hazards of irritating chemicals, dust, metals, and other abrasive agents encountered by workers in 52 occupations. He served as professor of medicine at the University of Padua from 1700 until his death.
