framework designed to protect and promote the well-being of workers
in their workplace environments. These bills typically establish
comprehensive guidelines, standards, and regulations that employers
must follow to ensure their employees work in safe and healthy

protect and promote the well-being of workers by ensuring safe and
healthy working conditions. These legislative frameworks aim to

especially in working areas, is related to falls from heights.
Implementing proper safety measures, including the use of personal
protective equipment, regular training, and adherence to OSH House
Bills, can significantly reduce the risk of these incidents occurring in

10. Workplace hazards can vary depending on the industry and work
environment. Some common workplace hazards include slips, trips,
and falls, ergonomic risks, exposure to harmful substances, working

12. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is crucial to both
employees and employers because it ensures a safe and healthy work
environment. For employees, OHS measures protect their well-being,
reduce the risk of injuries and illnesses, and promote a culture of
safety. On the other hand, for employers, OHS compliance helps
minimize workplace accidents, improve productivity by reducing
absences due to injuries, and foster a positive work environment.

follow in order to maintain safe and healthy conditions for employees.
15. For me, occupational health and safety is a multidisciplinary field

aimed at protecting us from accidents or dangers and promoting the
well-being of individuals in the workplace. By prioritizing safety through
risk assessment, training, health surveillance, regulatory compliance,
and fostering a safety culture, organizations can create an
environment where employees can thrive.
