WHO Global Plan of Action on Workers' Health (GPA), 2008-2017

In 2007, the World Health Assembly endorsed the WHO Global Plan of Action on Workers' Health (GPA), 2008-2017, which is a follow up of the WHO Global Strategy on Occupational Health for All endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 1996.

The main objectives of the GPA are to:

  • Strengthen the governance and leadership function of national health systems to respond to the specific health needs of working populations
  • Establish basic levels of health protection at all workplaces to decrease inequalities in workers health between and within countries and strengthen the promotion of health at work.
  • Ensure access of all workers to preventive health services and link occupational health to primary health care.
  • Improve the knowledge base for action on protecting and promoting the health of workers and establish linkages between health and work.
  • Stimulate incorporation of actions on workers health into other policies, such as sustainable development, poverty reduction, trade liberalization, environmental protection and employment.
