For most individuals, the workplace accounts for the majority of serious injuries and harmful exposures. If workers are properly protected, they receive a major contribution toward a healthier and likely longer life. In contrast, if workers are not protected, the workplace becomes a significant source of harm, loss of both physical and mental health, and may result in a shorter and less satisfying life.
