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.
