As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve interactions among many subject areas, including <a class="mw-redirect" title="Occupational medicine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_medicine">occupational medicine</a>, <a title="Occupational hygiene" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_hygiene">occupational (or industrial) hygiene</a>, <a title="Public health" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_health">public health</a>, <a title="Safety engineering" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_engineering">safety engineering</a>, <a title="Chemistry" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry">chemistry</a>, <a title="Health physics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_physics">health physics</a>, <a title="Ergonomics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergonomics">ergonomics</a>, <a title="Toxicology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicology">toxicology</a>, <a title="Epidemiology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology">epidemiology</a>, <a title="Environmental health" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_health">environmental health</a>, <a title="Industrial relations" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_relations">industrial relations</a>, <a title="Public policy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_policy">public policy</a>, <a title="Sociology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociology">sociology</a>, and <a title="Occupational health psychology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_health_psychology">occupational health psychology</a>.</p>
<p>Since 1950, the <a title="International Labour Organization" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Labour_Organization">International Labour Organization</a> (ILO) and the <a title="World Health Organization" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organization">World Health Organization</a> (WHO) have shared a common definition of occupational health. It was adopted by the Joint ILO/WHO Committee on Occupational Health at its first session in 1950 and revised at its twelfth session in 1995. The definition reads: &#8220;Occupational health should aim at: the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations; the prevention amongst workers of departures from health caused by their working conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment adapted to his physiological and psychological capabilities; and, to summarize, the adaptation of work to man and of each man to his job.&#8221;</p>
<p>The reasons for establishing good occupational safety and health standards are frequently identified as:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Morality" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality">Moral</a> &#8211; An employee should not have to risk injury or <a title="Occupational fatality" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_fatality">death</a> at work, nor should others associated with the work environment.</li>
<li><a title="Economy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy">Economic</a> &#8211; many <a title="Government" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government">governments</a> realize that poor occupational safety and health performance results in cost to the State (e.g. through <a title="Social security" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_security">social security</a> payments to the incapacitated, costs for medical treatment, and the loss of the &#8220;<a title="Employability" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employability">employability</a>&#8221; of the worker). Employing organisations also sustain costs in the event of an incident at work (such as legal fees, fines, compensatory damages, investigation time, lost production, lost goodwill from the workforce, from customers and from the wider community).</li>
<li><a title="Law" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law">Legal</a> &#8211; Occupational safety and health requirements may be reinforced in <a title="Civil law (common law)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_law_%28common_law%29">civil law</a> and/or <a title="Criminal law" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_law">criminal law</a>; it is accepted that without the extra &#8220;encouragement&#8221; of potential regulatory action or litigation, many organisations would not act upon their implied moral obligations.</li>
