What is occupational health?
Occupational health is focused on safeguarding the well-being of employees by identifying, managing, and preventing health risks in the workplace. This includes monitoring workers’ physical and mental health, ensuring they are fit to perform their duties, and reducing the risks of accidents and injuries. These health services are essential in high-risk industries, such as Oil & Gas, construction, and manufacturing, where hazardous environments can increase the likelihood of workplace injuries.
For more on the global perspective of occupational health and safety standards, refer to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines on workplace health here.
Importance of Occupational Health Services in Nigeria
In Nigeria, maintaining occupational health is essential for businesses that want to:
- Meet regulatory requirements: Compliance with health and safety regulations, such as those set by the Nigerian Institute of Safety Professionals (NISP), is a legal obligation for many industries.
- Enhance productivity: Healthy employees are more productive and less likely to take sick days, which leads to reduced absenteeism and better workplace morale.
- Prevent workplace injuries: Proactively identifying risks through health assessments helps prevent accidents and costly legal implications.
According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), companies that invest in occupational health often see improved productivity and better retention rates. You can read more about the global standards on workplace safety set by ILO here.
