Abstract:

An increasing interest and efforts are being made at all levels by academics and practitioners to protect the workers and encourage the development of strategies and approaches to reduce the number of accidents at the workplace, improve the safety performance of the industrial companies and preserve the environmental health. In spite of the continuous efforts of the Algerian companies to improve their health and safety performance, high number of accidents and ill-health problems among the Algerian companies are still being recorded. In terms of definition, the Environmental Health refers to human’s health aspects including quality of life. These aspects are defined by the physical, biological, social and psychosocial factors of the environment. It includes also the theory and practice of assessing, correcting, controlling and preventing these factors in an environment which may potentially affect human’s health.This paper comes to explore the contribution of the alignment of the cluster cultural aspects (CA), health and Safety strategy (H&SS) and people (P) as a way to improve the environmental health, particularly the Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) that present one of the prominent and significant health problems at work.
