About

We address policies, programs and practices that combine protection from work-related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness prevention to improve worker well-being. Studies address a range of topics including health behaviors and employee productivity, physical and emotional health benefits of reducing prolonged sitting at work, and the use of measurement tools aimed at integrating employee safety and health
