Healthy Workplace
Creating a healthy workplace including
culture, physical environment, employee well-
being, psychological safety and community
involvement is a strategic business move and
communicates a commitment to the holistic
well-being of workers – while reducing risks
and costs and strengthening competitive
advantage.
The use of temporary workers and worker
fatigue are a reality for many businesses. The
risk of injuries and incidents increases when
workers are fatigued, new, or not familiar with
the workplace.
Organizations can help to keep all workers
healthy and safe through effective
workplace policies and procedures, strong
communication and training strategies, and by
actively fostering an inclusive environment.
