Occupational Health and Safety among Healthcare a Review of Literature

Abstract

Health care professionals are constantly exposed to harmful physical, chemical, psychological, and biological factors. Regular information is important for prioritizing improvements to providers' health, safety, and security. Healthcare facilities, like other high-danger industries, are characterized by a high level of exposure to hazardous agents that pose a substantial threat to employees' health. Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a concept created to eliminate risks associated with the workplace. The freedom to practice OHS widely among healthcare professionals highlights the importance of evaluating it on a profession-specific basis, especially in circumstances with little staff. The current analysis looks at all of the available literature and analyses the contributions made by different researchers on employee retention between 2010 and 2022. According to the review and data, the study's conclusions show that Knowledge, Perception, Attitude, and Practice are crucial elements in retaining individuals in the workplace. It has become well recognized over the past ten years that one of the most critical factors in enhancing occupational health and safety is how people are managed and developed at work.
