F.I.T.

ool 1: The Letter of Commitment (LOC)

The initials F.I.T. mean, "Formalizing the Intention Tool" which aims to document the
collaboration of Management and workers to promote a culture of prevention in the workplace.
The tool is the actual Letter of Commitment (LOC) that is to be signed by both Management and
the Health and Safety Committee (SHC) or the worker's group representative, to signify their
support to improve their workplace for the safety, health, and wellness of everyone. This
document also manifests mutual cooperation between the management and workers in ensuring
healthy and safe workplaces towards productivity and sustainability.
This document also manifests mutual cooperation between the management and workers
in ensuring healthy and safe workplaces towards productivity and sustainability.
F.I.T.-ool 1 or the LOC also means that both management and workers will collaborate to
attain a healthy workplace, by promoting strategies to address the seven (7) health Priority Areas
(PAs) as identified in the Health Promotion Framework Strategy (HPFS). The 7 PAs are linked to
potential health risk behaviors; thus, preventive interventions are advocated to workers for their
health, safety, and wellness, while at work.
The LOC, once signed, is a clear manifestation of support from the management to
initiate, implement and provide the necessary support, such as privileges, incentives (monetary
and non-monetary), logistics, funds, and other possible Staff support. On the other hand, the
signature of the SHC or the workers group representative or its equivalent, indicates the workers’
commitment to support the health promotion and disease prevention initiatives in the workplace;
not only in the context of mere compliance, but more importantly, for the protection of their
health, safety and wellness.
A suggested template/format is attached for easy reference and guidance, in the
preparation of the LOC.
