Abstract
With the development of the times, the high intensity of work and pressure in the workplace has led to more and more people in the workplace experiencing major and minor health problems. Although work is important, but not at the expense of health. Only with a healthy body and good mental state, people can do better outstanding work. This paper focuses on the impact of different working conditions on the health of the population, focusing on the impact of overwork, lack of daily exercise, high-pressure working environment, irregular work patterns and other working conditions on the population. It finds that all of the above will lead to the emergence of various types of physiological or psychological illnesses, which affect the daily life of the population as well as the expected life expectancy, and at the same time, these undesirable factors will lead to burnout and even affect the social development of the population. At the same time, these adverse factors also lead to burnout and even affect the social development of the population. In response to these problems, this paper has looked for programs and interventions that may be able to address this situation. It is hoped that more people will pay attention to the health problems caused by poor working conditions.
