| Popis: | Objective To better understand how integrating health and safety strategies in the workplace has evolved and establish a replicable, scalable framework for advancing the concept with a system of health and safety metrics, modeled after the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Methods Seven leading national and international programs aimed at creating a culture of health and safety in the workplace were compared and contrasted. Results A list of forty variables was selected, making it clear there is a wide variety of approaches to integration of health and safety in the workplace. Conclusion Depending on how well developed the culture of health and safety is within a company, there are unique routes to operationalize and institutionalize the integration of health and safety strategies to achieve measurable benefits to enhance the overall health and well-being of workers, their families, and the community. |
