Field concerned with the safety, health and welfare of people at work
The following
outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to occupational safety and health:
Occupational safety and health (OSH ) or occupational health and safety (OHS ) is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the
safety ,
health , and
welfare of people at
work (i.e., while performing duties required by one's occupation). OSH is related to the fields of
occupational medicine and
occupational hygiene and aligns with
workplace health promotion initiatives. OSH also protects all the general public who may be affected by the occupational environment.
