Description:

U.S. workplaces have become increasingly sedentary, with resulting negative health effects. Through its Total Worker Health® Program, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends an integrated approach to addressing sedentary work environments. An integrated approach is one that protects workers from work-related injury and illness and helps them advance their overall health and well-being, on and off the job. This document describes organizational practices that can reduce the risks associated with sedentary work. Suggested citation: NIOSH [2017]. Using total worker health concepts to reduce the health risks from sedentary work. By Afanuh S, Johnson AI. DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2017–131.
