How can businesses improve their organisational performance and at the same time create safer and healthier working environments? A new report and factsheet by EU-OSHA gives information on how to incorporate workplace safety and health into general business management, including a literature review, a policy overview and examples of good practice.

Organisations deal with occupational safety and health (OSH) in different ways: some have little expertise in OSH and simply react to occupational accidents, work-related diseases and absenteeism as they arise, while others strive to manage OSH more systematically,and even proactively, by mainstreaming OSH into the organisation’s overall management. The report aims to provide evidence and information on how OSH can be incorporated into general business
management, thereby achieving safer and healthier working environments and better general organisational performance.
The report comprises three main parts, each with a different specific focus: a literature review, an overview of related policies and examples of good practice.
