Description:

The issue of health and safety has a strong international character, where there is an emphasis not only on health protection as such, but also in the matter of the changing green economy and the environmental impact of workplaces on health protection and OSH measures taken. For example, according to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, there are 17 core areas that emphasise sustainability in all areas (households, businesses, society and all other human activities). Workers’ occupational health and safety can be included in this area without further ado.
