Work-Related Safety and Health: Safeguard the Safety, Health, and Well-Being of the Workforce

Dear Colleagues,

The theme of this Special Issue is very much in line with the current health problems of the working population, focused on the role of occupational and environmental factors in the etiology of cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and mental diseases. These diseases are the main health problems both in Western and developing countries. Among occupational risk factors (chemical, physical and organizational), work-related stress plays an important role. It seems that the influence of stress on health and well-being could have a common mechanism of pathogenesis with other occupational and environmental factors.

In view of the high relevance of these problems, this Special Issue invites authors from different countries and from various areas of interest, such as occupational physicians, cardiologists, rehabilitation specialists, sociologists, psychologists, physiologists, ergonomists, and policy makers in occupational health. The overall aim of this Special Issue is to enhance our knowledge of the risk factors of work-related diseases and contribute to reducing these diseases through better management of occupational risk factors, and methodological advances in health evaluation of workers exposed to occupational risk factors.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
