Occupational health services

Health services concerned with the physical, mental, and social well being of people in relation to their work and working environment and with the adjustment of the people to their work and vice versa.


Health services concerned with the physical, menial and social well-being of man in relation to his work and working environment, and with the adjustment of man to his work and work to man. The concern is thus wider than the safety of the workplace, and includes health and job satisfaction. In the United States the principal Federal statute concerned with occupational health is the Occupational Safety and Health Act administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (XIOSH).
