ABSTRACT Occupational health and ergonomics play crucial roles in optimizing workplace environments and ensuring the well-being of employees. Workplace design, encompassing physical layouts, equipment placement, and organizational processes, aims to create efficient, safe, and comfortable workspaces that enhance productivity and minimize risks. Identifying and mitigating physical hazards, such as noise, chemicals, and machinery, is essential to safeguard employees' health and prevent accidents. Addressing mental health and stress management in the workplace is vital to support employees' psychological well-being. By providing resources, awareness campaigns, and counseling services, organizations can foster a positive work environment and reduce stress-related health issues.

Promoting employee health involves multifaceted approaches, from offering wellness programs to facilitating vaccination and healthcare access
