Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) : This is the workplace principle and practice of ensuring that the workers are at all times maintained in "the highest state of mental, physical and social well- being". It recognizes that a healthy worker is a most productive worker, and always recommends a preventative approach rather than a curative approach. In many OSH programmes, the guiding principle is always "prevention is better than cure". OSH is primarily concerned with the elimination or minimizing of risks and hazards within the workplace. With this aim, it focuses on such issues as accidents, dangerous machinery, chemicals, heat and cold, lighting, noise, workplace layout, job scheduling, job content, stress, ergonomics and related labour legislation
