Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human activity in the labor market involves a diverse range of workers striving to enhance their quality of life at personal, family, and professional levels. Health promotion strategies are vital for creating healthy, safe, and sustainable work environments, which in turn foster workforce well-being.
Workplace conditions directly impact worker health and safety. Developing physical, organic, and socio-relational aspects is crucial for promoting health, safety, and well-being for both men and women. Key elements in this approach include safety, freedom of negotiation, equity, and dignity.
Promoting health in the workplace requires support from various sectors of society. This includes socio-political actions that ensure equal opportunities, physical and organic safety, and positive social relations in the workplace. Efforts to promote health and safety involve collective and individual interventions and labor negotiations, creating healthy environments, and preventing and controlling occupational accidents and diseases. Additionally, global policies should promote decent, sustainable, and healthy work for vulnerable occupational groups and uphold human rights in the workplace.
This Special Issue underscores the continuous importance of promoting health and safety in the workplace. Given the ongoing challenges, this topic requires sustained attention from the scientific community. Promoting these conditions benefits not only the workers but also their families, contributing to the overall collective well-being.
