sustainable work
work that allows people to engage and remain in a job that does not harm their physical or mental health and will last for an extended period of their working life
In relation to OSH, sustainable work consists of two basic elements, both covered in the European legal framework on OSH: ensuring work does not damage physical or mental health across the life course, by controlling risks to all workers (generic measures), and taking additional steps where necessary to protect any particularly vulnerable groups or individuals.
