This can be done through an artistic as well as documentary approach not prohibiting stage photography. The focus of the photographs could be on certain work-related topics such as
- accident prevention
- changes at the workplace
- dangerous substances

- back pain
- noise
- stress
- harassment
- violence
- bullying
Photographs could also depict situations in different economic sectors such as agriculture, construction, education, fisheries, health care, transport, hotels and restaurants or highlight problems of a certain group: young or old workers, migrant workers, people with disabilities and women at work.
