• Description:
  The Total Worker Health (TWH) approach to safety, health, and well-being has attracted wide interest over the past 15 years. Not only is it intuitively appealing to a large portion of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) stakeholder community, it has drawn stakeholders new to NIOSH, introducing them to extensive occupational safety and health resources. The TWH program has funded novel research and outreach efforts, forged dozens of new partnerships, and changed the focus of many workplace health programs. The long-term vision of the program is to protect the safety and health of workers and to advance their well-being by creating safer and healthier work and work environments. This chapter presents an insiders' perspective on the TWH concept, including the formation of the original vision, the evolution and expansion of the vision, and the future vision. It provides information needed for fundamental understanding of the TWH concept. [Description provided by NIOSH]
