Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Occupational health and workers’ well-being is of paramount importance in today’s rapidly changing work environment. The Special Issue entitled “Occupational Health and Workers’ Well-Being: From Research to Practice” aims to explore and address the most pressing issues in ensuring safe and healthy workplaces. This issue brings together leading experts in the examination of contemporary challenges such as technological advancements, changing work patterns, and emerging health risks, including those related to mental health and ergonomic factors.
From the impact of artificial intelligence and automation on workers to the complexities of remote, hybrid, and physical work, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of the occupational health landscape. By highlighting innovative research and practical solutions, we aim to bridge the gap between science and practice.
Our aim is to inspire policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to work together for safer and healthier workplaces worldwide. The articles provide actionable insights and strategies for the management of risks, the promotion of well-being, and adaption to the evolving nature of work.
Join us as we redefine occupational health in the 21st century by exploring the challenges and discovering cutting-edge strategies to promote well-being, health, and productivity in the workplace.
