HomeA manual for managing chronic diseases and preventing the risks of acquiring disabilities
Publication metadata
As announced in the Package, this Manual has a focus on chronic diseases, but much of the information, insights and recommendations provided are also relevant and useful for safe, healthy, and inclusive workplaces in general, as well as for managing and supporting other diagnoses and disabilities in the workplace. In addition to general guidelines, the Manual also features specific guidance for five types of chronic diseases that have a risk of reduced work capacity and that could lead to a disability. They have also been identified by EU-OSHA as priority areas (cf. EU-OSHA 2023a). These are 1) cancer, 2) cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), 4) long COVID and 5) psychosocial risks and stress at work. In this document, the term worker and employee are used interchangeably. The term “partial disability”, instead of disability, is used when this is the concept used in the policy or legislation being described.
