Combined with the more traditional employer occupational safety and
health protection activities are newer employment-based programs to
promote better health through helping workers quit smoking, lose
weight, reduce stress, or exercise more regularly. In support of
these efforts, some employers have made changes in their policies
and facilities to support physical activity and healthier eating,
and some employers connect with community resources for health
education, health fairs, and other services. This diverse array of
activities most typically has been planned, managed, and assessed -
to the extent they exist in the workplace at all - by different,
often uncoordinated departments within the business entity. Some
employers have reconceptualized their safety, prevention, and
promotion initiatives and attempted to bring them together into a
coherent whole. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) has supported this integration, defining Total
Worker Health as "a strategy integrating occupational safety and
health protection with health promotion to prevent worker injury
and illness and to advance health and well-being." In May 2014,
with support from NIOSH, the Institute of Medicine organized a
workshop on Total Worker Health. Rather than a review of published
literature, this workshop sought input from a wide variety of
on-the-ground stakeholders regarding their experiences with
integrating occupational safety and health protection with health
promotion in the workplace. Promising and Best Practices in Total
Worker Health is the summary of the discussions and presentations
of the event. This report identifies prevalent and best practices
in programs that integrate occupational safety and health
protection with health promotion in small, medium, and large
workplaces; employer and employee associations; academia;
government agencies; and other stakeholder groups. Table of
