At its most strategic level, Occupational Health incorporates policies on working hours and conditions and safety into broader strategies of Occupational Health promotion and occupational safety and health (OSH) management. Occupational health can be defined as the science and art of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and reducing workplace hazards and risks to improve the safety, health, comfort, and performance of working men and women.
