Occupational health should aim at: the promotion and maintenance of the
highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations;
the prevention among workers of departures from health caused by their working
conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from
factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an
occupational environment adapted to his physiological and psychological
capabilities; and, to summarize, the adaptation of work to man and of each man to
his job.

maintain and promote workers’ health and working capacity;

cultures in a direction which supports health and safety at work and in doing so also
