The correct answer is: Periodic review for functionality and relevance

An essential feature of occupational and environmental health surveillance systems is periodic review for functionality and relevance. This means that the system should be regularly evaluated to ensure that it is functioning effectively and that the data being collected is relevant and useful for decision making. Option A, manual data collection methods, is incorrect because technological advancements have made electronic data collection methods more efficient and accurate. Option B, high cost-efficiency, is not mentioned in the text as a key feature and could potentially be a constraint in implementing a surveillance system. Option D, public accessibility to confidential data, is incorrect as it goes against the principles of maintaining the confidentiality of personal and sensitive health information.
