Work conditions influence our health

According to the Luxembourg Declaration on Workplace Health Promotion in the European Union (January 2007), Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) is the combined efforts of employers, employees and society to improve the health and well-being of people at work. This can be achieved through a combination of:
  • improving the work organization and the working environment
  • promoting active participation
  • encouraging personal development.
Workplace Health Management is a process not only for continuous improvement and health gain within the enterprise, but also a framework for involvement between various agencies in the community. It implies that enterprises and other organizations actively manage their health, environment and safety performances. There are four key components of Workplace Health Management:
  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Workplace Health Promotion 
  • Social and lifestyle determinants of health 
  • Environmental Health Management
