The
primary goal of occupational health nursing practice is to
assist the worker to attain and maintain optimal physical

by establishing a safe and healthy work environment through
programs aimed at reducing and eliminating work-related hazards
in the workplace and promoting a healthy lifestyle among the
workers.
