Defining Occupational Health in the Construction Industry Occupational Health can be defined as the ongoing maintenance and promotion of physical, mental and social well-being for all workers, minimising all occupational health risks and the adaptation of work to people. It also involves the education of people to adapt safely to their work. The Construction Industry in the UK employs over 2 million people. There is a high incidence of occupational ill health directly as a result of construction work. The specific risks and effects can be devastating for the individuals and their families as there is often a long-term impact on quality of life.
