Question: What are some common health concerns in the workplace?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Some common health concerns in the workplace include stress, musculoskeletal disorders, and mental health issues.

Reason: The workplace is a major context of daily life and can affect various aspects of physical and mental health, and can also reflect broader social and economic factors.

Example: For example, a job that involves repetitive motions or heavy lifting can increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, while a job that involves high pressure or conflict can lead to stress and burnout, and a job that lacks social support or autonomy can lead to depression and anxiety.

Alternative: However, workplaces can also provide opportunities for health promotion and prevention, such as ergonomic design, health education, and wellness programs, and can also influence social and economic factors such as income, social support, and work-life balance.
