Workers' health and safety
Workers' health and safety involve ensuring that workplaces are free from hazards that could cause injury or illness. This includes proper training, safe equipment, clear procedures, and maintaining a clean environment. The goal is to protect employees from risks like accidents, exposure to harmful substances, or repetitive strain. Good safety practices not only prevent injuries but also promote well-being and productivity. Employers have a legal and ethical responsibility to identify potential hazards, implement safety measures, and encourage a culture where safety is a priority for everyone.
