And if the impact of prevention on people’s health is considerable, it also turns out to be a driver of economic and social performance for the company. By investing in the health of employees, it benefits from a reduction in costs linked to absenteeism and accidents at work, improves its image and the quality of life at work, thus strengthening employee loyalty and performance.
The role of Occupational Health and Prevention Services? Avoid the deterioration of the health of workers as a result of their professional activity. An approach that revolves around 4 key missions:
Since the Occupational Health reform resulting from the law of August 2, 2021, the Occupational Health Services, which monitor 16 million workers, have evolved into Occupational Health and Prevention Services, thus marking a new era in the promotion of professional well-being. The aim of this reform is to strengthen primary prevention in companies, to prevent occupational disintegration and to improve the individual and medical follow-up of employees.
More generally, it accompanies the evolution of our society which aims to gradually move from a culture of reparation to a culture of prevention.
Preserving the health of workers and reducing accidents at work requires acting in anticipation, analyzing risky situations, in order to put in place collective and individual prevention measures, in partnership with other health and of prevention.
Another significant advance of the reform is the inclusion of self-employed entrepreneurs and self-employed workers in the services offered by Horizon Santé Travail. They can now benefit from health monitoring and occupational risk prevention adapted to their activity.
Horizon Santé Travail is thus resolutely committed to the future, broadening its field of action and meeting the varied needs of workers, whatever their professional situation.
