Public Lecture: Personalized Approaches to Occupational Toxicology and Implications of Occupational Hygiene for Promoting Worker Health

Occupational hygiene is a fundamental discipline that directly impacts worker health by identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards in the workplace environment. These hazards, ranging from chemical and physical agents to biological risks and ergonomic factors, pose significant threats to worker safety and long-term health. By integrating occupational hygiene principles, workplaces can effectively mitigate the risk of workplace injuries, illnesses, and disabilities. This abstract explores the implications of occupational hygiene for promoting worker health and its potential for supporting the development of health promotion programs within organizations. Specifically, it outlines how a comprehensive health promotion program, grounded in occupational hygiene practices, can enhance worker well-being, increase productivity, and foster a culture of health and safety. The proposed health promotion program emphasizes hazard identification, risk management, health education, and the provision of necessary resources and training. It aims to empower workers, reduce absenteeism, and prevent occupational diseases, ultimately contributing to the overall success of organizations. The abstract concludes by highlighting the importance of continuous evaluation and adaptation of health promotion strategies to address evolving workplace risks and ensure sustainable improvements in worker health.
