Occupational Health, Environmental Safety and Wellness (OHESW)

At DP-360, we believe that occupational health and environmental safety is a crucial component of public health, especially given the rapid and often random industrialization in developing countries. Currently, an estimated two million people die each year as a result of occupational accidents and work-related illnesses or injuries (WHO, 2010). Many of these deaths and injuries can be prevented with establishment of adequate and evidence based occupational health and environmental safety practices.

Healthy workforce is a driving force not only for the economy but health of the society as well. OHESW entails OSH may involve interactions among many subject areas, including occupational medicine, occupational hygiene, public health, safety and industrial engineering, health physics, ergonomics and mental health.

Our approach to Occupational Health, Environmental Safety and Wellness (OHESW):

We, ate DP-360, have the necessary sector specific expertise to implement OHESW in the following industries, interalia:

Metal and non-ferrous metal manufacturing industries;
Automobile manufacturing industries;
Aircraft manufacturing and ancillary industries
Chemical manufacturing industries
Petrochemical industries and oil refineries
Garment manufacturing industries
Hospitality sector – Hotel and resort industries
Healthcare sector – primary, secondary, tertiary and super-specialty healthcare institutions (hospitals); in the public as well as the private sector

Following are the activities we undertake / elements we consider while implementing OHESW:

Hazard and risk assessment
- Manufacturing hazards
- Chemical hazards
- Biological hazards
- Radiation hazards
- Environmental assessment: air, water and general environment
- Ergonomical hazards
- Psychological and social hazards
- Nanotechnology: relatively unstudied area but more relevant than ever given the increased use of technology at workplace
