Areas of the Work Environment

The work environment can be divided into three main areas: physical work environment, chemical-biological work environment, and organizational-social work environment.

The physical work environment includes the design of physical spaces and working conditions such as ergonomics, noise, lighting, and accident risks.

The chemical-biological work environment is a special part of the physical work environment, which concerns exposure to chemical or biological substances and materials that may pose a health risk during work.

The organizational-social work environment covers aspects such as perceived workload, employee involvement, collegial relations, and the general experience of the work community, which are important for employees' security, motivation, and well-being.

Despite the division, the work environment should be seen as a whole, reflecting our efforts for a good work environment
