Comprehensive and gender-responsive programmes for managing occupational health and safety for health workers at national, subnational and health facility levels can prevent work-related diseases and injuries, while improving the quality and safety of care, human resources for health and environmental sustainability in the health sector.
This guide provides an overview of the key elements of occupational health and safety programmes for health workers at national, subnational and facility levels, as well as advice for the development and implementation of such programmes."
