What is occupational health?

Occupational health focuses on promoting and protecting the health and well-being of workers in their workplaces. It addresses the physical, mental, and social aspects of work-related hazards, aims to prevent illnesses and injuries, and ensures a healthy and safe working environment. Occupational health professionals work closely with employers, employees, and other stakeholders to identify and manage risks, develop health promotion programs, and comply with relevant laws and regulations.
