Total Worker Health in the spotlight at ASSP event
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Total Worker Health® (TWH) model will be the focus of a session at the American Society of Safety Professionals’ (ASSP) Seminarfest 2019 in Las Vegas.
TWH is a holistic approach to well-being that integrates protection from work-related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness prevention efforts. According to NIOSH, it acknowledges risk factors related to work that contribute to health problems previously considered unrelated to work and seeks to improve well-being in the American workforce for the benefit of workers, employers, and the nation.
