In this workshop, we explore OH challenges and opportunities under three themes and propose strategic approaches for preventing work-related ill-health.
The themes are:

We will explore the said themes with the help of the following approaches.
- Developing and implementing Ill-health Prevention and Performance Indicators (IPPI)
