[Workplace health promotion: models and practice].
Acknowledging the synergies between occupational health and safety and health promotion, this paper aims to analyze the interactions between these two fields and their possible integration. It looks at the different health promotion concepts used in occupational health: creation of health-promoting settings, participation and community action, education and development of personal skills, re-orientating public policies, and inter-sectoral collaboration. Four models of action are defined and their characteristics are explored: occupational health and safety; use of health promotion principles, strategies and techniques for occupational health and safety management; general health education actions at the workplace, and integrated approaches (or settings-based ecological approaches).
