Occupational Safety and Health and Workplace Health Promotion: an Essential Area for a Recovery from Covid-19 Based on Decent Work

Abstract

Against the rapid increase in psychosocial risks around the world brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the workplace has become an ideal venue to address emerging psychosocial risks to protect the health and well-being of all workers. The paper aims to study how the promotion of Occupational Safety and Health measures could contribute to the recovery from COVID-19, with a particular focus on Workplace Health Promotion and Well-being at Work. The analysis will also focus on the inclusion of safe and healthy working conditions in the ILO’s Framework about Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
