Overall aim: To increase understanding of the extent, harm, costs and preventability of occupational ill-health. We will identify and develop the evidence necessary for HSE to implement its Health and Work Programme, and more widely, to help people in the health and safety system take greater responsibility for health at work. The Health and Work Programme will focus HSE’s major efforts on those conditions that are widespread, have life-limiting or life-altering impacts, and those with the greatest economic consequences. Stress, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and occupational lung diseases (OLDs) are foremost among these.
