What is Occupational Health
Occupational health is a specialised field of healthcare that focuses on the physical, mental, and social well-being of people in the workplace. Its main goal is to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and hazards while promoting safe and healthy working conditions.
Occupational health professionals assess risks, design safety programs, and provide guidance on ergonomics, stress management, and disease prevention. They also ensure that businesses comply with health and safety regulations. By fostering healthier work environments, occupational health not only protects employees but also boosts productivity, reduces absenteeism, and supports overall organisational performance, creating long-term benefits for both workers and employers.
