Healthy workplaces

Did you know that we spend about a third of our lives at work? Healthy workplaces matter because work can have a significant impact on our health and wellbeing, and can be a positive contributor to our health. A healthy workplace takes into consideration the impact that the workplace culture, work environment and type of work can have on the health, safety and wellbeing of workers.

A healthy workplace benefits both the business and workers through reduced injuries, improved productivity and a more supported, engaged and motivated workforce. It benefits everyone. It places high importance on safety, the management of injuries if they occur, workplace mental health and emotional wellbeing and has a particular focus on new or young workers who may be at higher risk of injury.

The following sections will assist you in the creation of healthy workplaces and includes information, tools and resources in the key areas of injury prevention, injury management, mentally healthy workplaces, employee assistance programs and young workers.
