How can existing (and ongoing) data sets be linked to provide richer data tounderstand the relationship between exposure to hazards, the effectiveness ofcontrol measures and work-related ill health?
Background
To increase our understanding of the extent, harm, costs and preventability of work- related ill health. Specifically, focussing on the most common causes of work-related ill health in GB – work related stress, musculoskeletal disorders and respiratory ill health. DWP and DHSC Joint Work and Health Directorate (“the joint unit”) and HSE cooperate and collaborate on matters concerning their respective health responsibilities. This includes matters of mutual interest such as research with employers into demographics, occupational psychology and behavioural science, specific conditions and the workplace, work-related stress and mental health at work and musculoskeletal conditions. DWP, DHSC and HSE also collaborate on horizon scanning and foresight work in terms of considering work-related ill health outcomes.
