ABSTRACT


Occupational accidents pose significant threats for both workers and employers everywhere around the world. Throughout the face of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, efforts to avoid occupational diseases, particularly those caused by the spread of COVID-19, are being stepped up. To further resolve this concern, some governments worldwide have implemented health and safety at work programs, and also fostering quality benefits under social security system. Nevertheless, as certain two strategies have inadequacies, improved solutions are mostly expected to diminish damages. As a result, this article is beneficial for describing the dynamic of an occupational health preventive program as well as recognizing improved means of coping with and preventing occupational injuries or illness. The objective of this review is to consider the possible advantages of a strategy for preventing injuries using the report’s current policy on social insurance schemes. Furthermore, the reciprocity of the advantages of the occupational health and safety (OHS) promotional and prevention program also analyzed. This program offers a better advantage in terms of safety management as well as the development of compensation as the primary social security program.
