Occupational Health Related Issues


Ever wondered why official meetings always 'stress' on a particular point? Isn't there another word for it or the companies use it explicitly?

The logic is simple. An unhealthy mind produces error-prone work whereas a healthy mind produces productive work with high efficiency. Problems at home, relationships, a flat tire on the way to office are all causes of stress in the workplace. How to tackle them with ease is the key to success of a healthy worker.

In the present scenario, even a Tom, Dick or Harry company would neither prefer having employees who go frequently on sick leave nor compensating for their medical claims. However, any accident happening at the workplace should be taken care of by the management. That is why industries are given significant high-end regulations on safety operations and emergency remedies.

Occupational health and safety management typically manifests the commitment of the company to its workers' safety. The claims however are different with respect to different working environments.

Most industries claim to be protective of its workers but ultimately would have ruled out on regulations for simple issues stating them as 'potentially risk-free' or 'reasonably practicable'. In such cases, claiming compensation would be very tiresome ultimately making the worker even more stressful. Also the minds of workers mostly ponder as to, "why did I choose this job?"Or "I should have stayed in the previous one..." and so on. But what is least realized is the fact that wherever we work or under whomever we are put into, we will face similar work-related issues. The solution to this lies fortunately or unfortunately in the employees' hands.

The Organization on the other hand should begin to 'eye' the problems in a different angle and start devising manageable rules for the benefit of the workers as well as the company. Also, issues that have been disproportionately tackled in the organization should at least take a step forward and start analyzing in terms of risk assessments so that such Occupational health related issues are resolved and not repeated in future.

Occupational health is the most-discussed topic in the corporate world with the increasing number of medical claims and frequent visits to psychiatrists by the employees. Be it a hike in the pay or a period of lay-off, it is always the employees who are affected both physically and mentally. If this is the case in corporate, it is even bad in industries where workers are prone to occupational hazards. A stressful worker working on an acid tank is more susceptible to accident than a worker who is mentally fit. Thus both metal health and physical health play a very influential role in bringing enormous turnover for the company as well as the worker.
