Empowering healthier working lives
Whether you're on a construction site, in an office, driving a lorry, caring for patients, or
working in a factory, your health and well-being are fundamental. Occupational
health, often called "occ health," is all about looking after your health at work. It's not
just about preventing accidents, although that's a big part of it. It's about creating a
healthy and safe work environment where you can thrive.
No matter what kind of work you do, occupational health is relevant. Whether it's
managing the risks of manual handling in healthcare, ensuring good air quality in
manufacturing, providing ergonomic assessments in offices, or supporting the mental
well-being of those in high-pressure roles, the principles of occupational health apply
everywhere. It's about proactively identifying and managing health risks in any
workplace.
