AB  - Total  Worker  Health  (TWH)  is  defined  by  National  Institute  for  Occupational  Safety  and  Health  (NIOSH)  as  policies,  programs,  and  practices  that  integrate  protection  from  work-related  safety  and  health  hazards  with  promotion  of  injury  and  illness  prevention  efforts  to  advance  worker  well-being.  It  is  a  holistic  approach  that  integrates  frameworks  and  practices  from  several  disciplines  to  identify  and  control  exposures  to  hazards  that  impact  workers’  safety,  health,  and  well-being.  These  exposures  may  be  overt,  such  as  chemical  exposures  or  physical  hazards.  Alternatively,  they  may  be  more  insidious,  such  as  exposure  to  a  stressful  work  environment.  TWH  also  promotes  the  creation  of  a  healthy  work  environment,  for  example,  by  considering  workplace  ergonomics  and  work  design,  the  impact  of  health  care  and  other  organization  benefits  on  worker  health  and  well-being,  and  factors  contributing  to  a  supportive  work  environment.  The  goal  of  TWH  is  to  provide  a  safe  workplace  where  all  workers  can  also  improve  their  overall  health  and  well-being.
