Discussion: Workplace health and safety is an emerging area of emphasis in health psychology, as discussed in chapter 13. Current workplace interventions emphasize the role of the individual worker, as well as the responsibility of the employer to raise awareness of health and safety concerns. Discuss the particular health and safety hazards in the places where they have worked, or in their parents’ workplaces.

These may range from relatively minor concerns (e.g., wrist pain and eye strain from computer screens) to the extreme example of the 2010 incident when 33 miners were trapped underground for 69 days in Chile, causing threats to both their physical and emotional health.

What types of interventions where used to raise awareness of health and safety issues? How effective were these interventions, and what additional strategies might have been more useful?

Reflection Paper: Read the powerpoint of the chapter 13 and write a one-page double spaced reflection paper
