The phrase occupational health and safety refers to the effects of a persons job on their health and safety or of conditions in the workplace that could affect a persons health and safety. For example, are there accumulative effects of using cutting oils in an unprotected manner in some manufacturing environments? Yes, employees may develop certain types of cancers. Or probably more applicable to some employees at York University is the accumulative effects of not having a properly adjusted keyboard or workstation setup, which could result in carpal tunnel or other types of repetitive strain or musculoskeletal injuries.
