Summary: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. 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. 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. HPW in Spain is a reality in 6 regions, with differences between them related to the requisites and what the administration offers to them.
