an area concerned with the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work
or employment. The goals of occupational safety and health programs include to
foster a safe and healthy work environment.OSH may also protect co-workers,
family members, employers, customers, and many others who might be affected

and safety is referred to as occupational health and occupational and nonoccupational safety and includes safety for activities outside work. In commonlaw jurisdictions, employers have a common law duty to take reasonable care

As defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) "occupational health deals

with all aspects of health and safety in the workplace and has a strong focus on
primary prevention of hazards." Health has been defined as "a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity. Occupational health is a multidisciplinary field of healthcare
concerned with enabling an individual to undertake their occupation, in the way
that causes least harm to their health. Health has been defined as It contrasts, for
example, with the promotion of health and safety at work, which is concerned
with preventing harm from any incidental hazards, arising in the workplace.

Specific occupational safety and health risk factors vary depending on the
specific sector and industry. Construction workers might be particularly at risk
of falls, for instance, whereas fishermen might be particularly at risk of
drowning. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics identifies the fishing,
aviation, lumber, metalworking, agriculture, mining and transportation
industries as among some of the more dangerous for workers. Similarly
psychosocial risks such as workplace violence are more pronounced for certain
occupational groups such as health care employees, police, correctional officers
and teachers. ( Yulianto, 2008 )
Health and safety is very important Because Protect and ensure the safety of all
workers and others in the workplace Guarantees every production source can be
used safely and efficiently. Improve well-being and national productivity.
