Objective:
Health promotion at work (HPW) is an essential component of social and economic policies. Objectives: 1) To determine which regions in Spain have a HPW program and 2) To review these programs according to health promotion and equity models.
Methods:
Regional HPW programs were identified through occupational health committee. Their webs were reviewed, and we interviewed by videoconference the persons in charge of each program. We used a data collection notebook to collect descriptive as well as quality variables, according to health promotion and equity models.
Results:
6 regions have a HPW program: Andalucía, Aragón, Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, Extremadura and Galicia, developed by health administration or work administration, but only in 1 case by both. 4 programs have regulations and 3 have created a network. The participation of occupational risk prevention services is key, while participation of workers and management teams is variable. Only 2 regions have incorporated information and materials related to COVID-19. Measures to promote equality and work-life balance, but not to promote equity.
Conclusions:
HPW in Spain is a reality in 6 regions, with differences between them related to the requisites and what the administration offers to them.
