IOSHA signs a strategic partnership agreement with Body Max

The signing ceremony of the Strategic partnership agreement between IOSHA and Body Max was held on Tuesday, September 28, 2021 at 6 p.m. at the Hill Top Hotel.

On this unique moment, this agreement confirms the common belief, and the shared missions of both institutions. The agreement sets several major areas of work to push forward safety and health culture at workplace by Promoting physical activity and exercises.

Increasing employees’ physical activity can create a healthier workforce, increase employees’ productivity, and decrease employees’ risk of developing costly and debilitating chronic diseases. Employees who are physically active have lower healthcare costs, require fewer sick leaves, and are more productive at work.

This agreement sets 5 major areas of work that strengthen joint actions already well under way with the Industrial Occupational Safety and Health Agency Intervention program:

1. Build a culture of Safety and health,
2. Create a community-wide educational campaign,
3. Health promotion program and research activities,
4. Tailor programming to employee needs and desires,
5. Target multiple factors to help maximize success
