Abstract: Introduction: in healthcare environments, occupational safety is rather crucial to guarantee that patients and staff get the best treatment available. Healthcare professionals run many hazards, including injury, disease, and extreme emotional stress; all of which may significantly affect their performance and general state of health. Thus, one crucial component of healthcare administration is ensuring employees’ safety at work. Method: this paper investigates many approaches to provide occupational safety for medical professionals. Every present safety regulation, training initiative, and technological solution was thoroughly examined. Data was obtained from many medical institutions using these approaches. Among the tools used were surveys, talks with staff members and healthcare management, and analysis of safety incident data. Results: safety management systems, consistent safety training, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and mental health support programs have helped to reduce the incidence of accidents, infections, and stress-related issues occurring at work, the research showed. Additionally demonstrated to reduce physical stress is the use of technology and robotics, therefore enhancing the safety and efficiency of many fields. Conclusion: the findings reveal that a multifarious approach is required to make healthcare professionals safer. This includes utilising mental health assistance, training, and technology. To safeguard the health and safety of their staff, healthcare providers should rank these actions first among their objectives. This will raise patient receiving quality of treatment. Future studies should investigate the long-term consequences of these developments as well as other technological innovations potentially used in safety management.
