Wellness and Health Education for Environmental, Health, and Safety Practitioners

This book discusses the need for integrating occupational health and safety (OHS) and wellness programs in the workplace. It lists key components of both programs and highlights areas that overlap, such as obesity and ergonomics, smoking and asbestos, chemicals at home and workplace hazards. It shows how principles used in OHS can be translated for use in wellness and vice versa, providing useful case studies of companies that have merged these programs. Professionals in the field will learn what works and does not work and acquire tools for setting up an action plan for integrating wellness with OHS.
