Definition

  • Worksite health promotion includes programs, policies, and other initiatives based in worksites aimed at the promotion of workers' health. As such, worksite health promotion may include efforts to (a) reduce risk-related behaviors, such as tobacco use, unhealthy dietary patterns, physical inactivity, or sun exposure; (b) reduce risk-related exposures at work, such as to environmental tobacco smoke, occupational hazards, or job stressors; and (c) increase utilization of screening for early detection of disease, including, for example, screening for high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or mammography or Pap screening.
