BRIEF ABOUT
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
& HEALTH
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.

PURPOSE
The main focus in occupational health
is on three different objectives:
the maintenance and promotion
of workers health and working
capacity
The improvement of working
environment
and
work
to
become conducive to safety and
health.
Development
of
work
organizations
and
working
cultures in a direction which
supports health and safety at
work and in doing so also
promotes a positive social
climate and smooth operation
and may enhance productivity
of the undertakings.
The concept of
working culture is intended in
this context to mean
a reflection of
the essential value
systems adopted
by the undertaking
concerned. Such a culture is
reflected in practice in the
managerial systems, personnel
policy,
principles
for
participation, training policies
and quality management of the
undertaking."

Occupational Health and Safety

Pakistan is a developing country;
with a very low rate of industrial
growth and most of the labour working

of workers. According to a survey
about 44 percent of labour belongs to
the agriculture sector and 56 percent
to industrial sector.
Mostly the work performed in an
industrial process in Pakistan is Semi
mechanized and with very low level of
precautions, informal training culture,
low rate of literacy and safety
measures on work place the ratio of
occupational accidents is on the
higher side.
It is due to these four main causes a
workman in Pakistan has a very
limited professional life and is prone to
risks of accidents that may lead to
terminal illness or death. Let us now
