Simlii guidelines on workplace health promotion [Linee guida SIMLII sulla promozione della salute nei luoghi di lavoro]

Interventions of health promotion (HP) with the best evidence of effectiveness are reported in literature. However nothing is said about how to apply these interventions in the local specific situations. On the other hand in literature the role of the occupational physician in workplace HP is not highlighted. Currently there is a substantial amount of knowledge on effective HP interventions that meets internationally accepted criteria, but at least in our country it is not systematically applied. While several databases provide useful information on different HP programs, the Cochrane Collaboration systematic reviews should be considered the most reliable source. © PI-ME, Pavia 2010.
