Total Workplace Safety and Health (Total WSH) is an approach that looks at work, safety and health together, as these areas are closely interrelated. For example, companies with good work processes have fewer accidents and cases of ill-health at work. This leads to better physical and mental well-being. It also results in increased productivity as companies that focus on safety have fewer employee injuries and companies with healthy workers tend to enjoy reduced absenteeism and are less likely to be involved in accidents arising from poor health.
A Total Workplace Safety and Health Programme (WSHP) is a comprehensive approach adopted by organizations to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of their employees within the workplace. It encompasses various policies, procedures, and practices aimed at identifying and mitigating hazards, promoting a culture of safety, and complying with relevant regulations and standards.
