Abstract

In the current globalisation, health in the workplace or occupational health is very important as it is through work that individual, social and economic relationships develop.

These forms of social organisation are those that are proposed by the guidelines for work relations and salaries. The integral conception of occupational health is often directly related to the propensity towards certain illnesses and sufferings from work performed on a daily basis. It is necessary to study and analyse the workers’ conditions in their place of work.
