This presentation argues that the value of occupational health and safety, and corporate wellness programmes, can be increased exponentially through an integrated information system. This is accomplished by integrating data collected from a host of standalone safety technologies with an electronic health record, corporate wellness and ERP systems.Business Case For Wellness (S)
This document discusses the business case for implementing worksite wellness programs. It finds that such programs can reduce healthcare costs by 26% and lower worker absenteeism and disability costs by 28-30% by encouraging early detection and treatment of diseases. Employees participating in wellness programs average 1.2 fewer days of lost productivity per year compared to non-participating employees. The document advocates for employers to replace a reactive healthcare payment model with proactive wellness screenings and education to improve employee health and productivity over the long term.
Workplace health and why employers should act
Workplace health and why employers should act Professor Jim McManus AFBPsS,FFPH,CSci, FRSB, CPsychol
This document summarizes the relationship between employee health risks, productivity, and employers' costs. It finds that productivity decreases and absenteeism increases as the number of employees' health risks grow. Chronic diseases from risks like smoking account for 56% of deaths in working populations and place increasing burdens on employers. Implementing workplace wellness programs can help stop the flow of employees to higher risks and diseases, lowering absenteeism by up to 20% and saving employers money. The document provides examples of effective interventions and evidence from programs in Hertfordshire that have reduced sickness absence and costs through increased health offerings.The Safety agenda: Leading Safety Into The Future from National Safety Council
We examined the issues in which NSC has proven expertise to make an impact. We looked at the actions other organizations are taking with these issues to understand those that are well-addressed and those that are not. We examined the cost-benefit analysis of the issues and effective interventions. Could NSC devote the resources necessary to make measurable impact? If so, how many injuries could be prevented?
How many lives could be saved?
The result of this analysis is an NSC strategy encompassing five core issues:
• Safety At Work: A Journey to Safety Excellence – A model to improve worker safety and enable any employer to advance toward workplace safety excellence
• Safe Communities: A Model for Community Prevention – A model for community engagement and leadership in injury prevention
• Prescription Drug Overdoses – A strategy to address injuries and fatalities caused by pain medications
• Distracted Driving – A strategy to reduce motor vehicle crashes, injuries and deaths associated with cell phone use while driving
• Teen Driving – A strategy to reduce the involvement of teens in motor vehicle crashes
The purpose of this Safety Agenda is to inform and move you to action on these issues. It is our hope that each reader may find in this Safety Agenda an opportunity to get involved in saving lives. We invite you to take action individually, with your employer and other organizations with whom you are involved or support, and alongside the National Safety Council we can save lives and prevent injuries.
Culture of Safety CEO
This document discusses the importance of leadership in establishing a culture of safety and effective patient safety programs. It outlines several leverage points leaders must address, including establishing aims for improvement, aligning measures and strategies, engaging physicians, and building improvement capability. The document also discusses adverse events, their human and economic costs, and goals of patient safety programs like reporting errors and analyzing systems failures to prevent future mistakes.
CFMA Obesity Costs 2015
- Obesity has significant physical and financial costs for both individuals and businesses in the US. It is associated with increased healthcare spending, higher workers' compensation claims, and poorer safety records.
- Contractors need to consider these broader costs of obesity beyond just healthcare, as factors like workers' compensation claims and experience modification ratings can significantly impact a business's profitability and ability to bid for projects.
- Integrating health risk, workers' compensation, and safety data can provide a more comprehensive picture of how obesity affects a business and help determine if increased wellness programming is financially justified.

Burnout concerns for medical professions edited
Burnout is a serious issue that affects many in the medical field, especially nurses. It is characterized by emotional exhaustion, low energy, and frustration. It stems from heavy workloads, understaffing, financial burdens, and inconsistent changes within the profession. Burnout leads to poorer patient outcomes and satisfaction as well as increased medical errors. It also negatively impacts nurses' performance, decision-making, and relationships. If left unaddressed, burnout can result in many medical professionals leaving the field, exacerbating staffing shortages and declining care quality within healthcare systems. Strategies such as improved management, workload distribution, and support for staff well-being are needed to combat the effects of burnout.

Health management in the private sector in the context of hiv aids 366 ftpABBA RPC (Addressing the Balance of Burden in HIV/AIDS)
This document discusses challenges faced by private sector HIV/AIDS workplace programs in South Africa. It finds that while such programs have expanded, offering voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) and antiretroviral treatment (ART), participation rates remain lower than expected. In particular, many employees only seek testing and treatment when symptoms appear, undermining programs' goals of maintaining productivity. The document explores reasons for low uptake, including limitations in program design and emotional/cognitive barriers among employees. Overall, private sector initiatives have advanced but still struggle with core challenges of effectively reaching and treating infected workers.Osha white paper-january2012sm
The document discusses injury and illness prevention programs (IIPPs), which are proactive processes that help employers identify and fix workplace hazards before workers get hurt. The key is management leadership, worker participation, hazard identification and control, training, and program evaluation. Studies show IIPPs can dramatically reduce injuries and illnesses, lower costs from insurance and lost productivity, and improve workplace culture. They are required in many countries and 34 US states due to their effectiveness.
SHRM’s 2014 Strategic Benefits Survey: Health Care
SHRM’s 2014 Strategic Benefits Survey collected extensive information on the costs of health care and changes in total costs over time.
This research found that about four-fifths (79%) of respondents from organizations that provided health care coverage to their employees indicated their organization was “very concerned” about controlling health care costs. About one-half of organizations offered educational initiatives related to health and wellness (56%) and/or lower-cost generic prescription drugs (48%) to help control the costs of health care. In terms of employee contributions to the total costs of health care, one-half of respondents indicated their organization increased the employee share of the total costs of health care compared with the previous plan year.
Ethical and policy factors in care
This document discusses ethical and policy factors related to care coordination. It addresses how government policies like the Affordable Care Act and HIPAA affect care coordination and can create ethical dilemmas. The American Nurses Association has developed a code of ethics to guide nursing practices related to care coordination and emphasizes patient-centered care and collaborative leadership. Social determinants of health like socioeconomic status, education, and environment influence individuals' health outcomes.
Big Data and Reducing Healthcare Waste
In presentation to Texas Business Group on Health, HCMS Group shows how data analytics and risk metrics can be harnessed to identify and reduce waste in healthcare spending.
SHRM Survey Findings: Smoking in the Workplace
Over half of organizations allow smoking in the workplace. Most have formal smoking policies, and many limit the number of daily breaks. Common smoking policies provide wellness information on quitting or impose health premium surcharges for smokers. Since implementing these policies, many report decreased smoking. Vaping policies are also increasing, with most either banning or designating vaping areas. Violations typically result in verbal warnings.

Shrm survey findings_strategic-benefits-health-care
- The 2014 SHRM survey found that 20% of organizations saw decreases in total healthcare costs compared to previous years where only 9-10% saw decreases. However, 69-74% still saw costs increase.
- Most organizations (79%) are very concerned about controlling healthcare costs. Common strategies include wellness initiatives (56%), generic drugs (48%), and increasing employee contributions (50%).
- Looking ahead, more employers may ask employees to take on more of the costs, but this could impact employee satisfaction and recruiting if not managed carefully. Wellness programs are also likely to remain a key strategy to control costs.
2015 Strategic Benefits—Wellness Initiatives
The survey found that:
- Two-thirds of organizations offered wellness programs, and 40% increased investment in these programs.
- Most organizations did not analyze return on investment or cost savings from wellness programs.
- Around half of organizations saw increased employee participation in wellness programs over time.
- Wellness programs were viewed as effective in reducing healthcare costs and improving employee health.
- About 60% of organizations offered wellness incentives like premium reductions, which significantly increased employee participation.
2013 benefit strategies health-care
The document summarizes findings from a SHRM survey on employee health care benefits. Key findings include: Most organizations are very concerned about controlling health care costs and have engaged in health/wellness educational initiatives and culture changes to do so. Looking ahead, many organizations are unsure if employees will pay more for health care costs in the future, though some large organizations currently increase employee contributions. HR professionals will need to balance health care costs with attracting and retaining employees under reforms like the Affordable Care Act.

This document summarizes a journal article that examines the relationship between financial vulnerability and accountability in non-profit organizations in Malaysia. It discusses how financial vulnerability can impact an organization's ability to fulfill its social objectives and meet various accountability responsibilities. The study analyzes financial and accountability data from 130 Malaysian non-profit societies to determine if measures of financial vulnerability (efficiency, stability, solvency, margin) correlate with levels of accountability (strategic, fiduciary, financial, procedural, best practices). The results indicate that most organizations showed signs of financial vulnerability that could limit accountability, and stability was the only vulnerability measure significantly linked to accountability.
Wellness Programs and WC_March 2016 (2)
The document discusses how employer wellness programs can help reduce workers' compensation costs by addressing common health issues like obesity, diabetes, and smoking that increase injury risks. Obesity is linked to more frequent injuries, longer recovery times, and higher medical costs for workers' compensation claims. The document advocates for closer integration between wellness programs and workers' compensation programs to identify and address employee health risks that contribute to workplace accidents and injuries. Coordinating these programs can help injured employees return to work sooner and reduce the chances of reinjury through lifestyle changes and health improvements.

The top three trends in healthcare according to the document are:
1) Cost and spending in healthcare which is influenced by factors like underuse, overuse, and misuse of healthcare resources.
2) Industry regulations which aim to implement public policy but can overwhelm healthcare workers with complexity and take focus off patient care.
3) Diversity in the healthcare workplace which is essential for sharing perspectives and ideas to better serve patients as the nation and industry become more diverse.
Shrm health-care-reform-challenges-strategies
The survey found that human resource professionals face several challenges in responding to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), including keeping up with regulations, understanding details of the law, and understanding the impact on health care costs. While some see expanded health care coverage as beneficial, many do not see positive aspects or have implementation barriers due to complexity. Most organizations are taking actions like training staff, analyzing financial impacts, and partnering with benefits providers on 2014 plans. Common strategies include considering alternative plans, exchanges, and reduced hours. HR professionals will need to stay educated on the law and take action to plan for 2014 requirements.
Lessening the Negative Impact of Human Factors Linking Staffing Variables & P...
This document discusses how human factors such as staffing levels, skill mix, and competency assessment are frequently cited as root causes of medical errors based on reviews of sentinel events. It summarizes research showing connections between various staffing variables like nurse-to-patient ratios, overtime, experience levels, and patient outcomes including falls, hospital-acquired infections, pressure ulcers, mortality, readmissions, and length of stay. The document advocates for data-driven workforce management strategies like acuity-based staffing and competency management to optimize staffing and improve patient outcomes.
Clinician Burnout in Healthcare: 2019 Survey
The complexities of your role as a healthcare leader cannot be overstated. In fact, each year the complexity increases as the weight of administrative tasks increases, meeting patient needs becomes harder, and the overall healthcare environment rapidly shifts.
These, and other, frustrations are widespread and expanding, leading to growing levels of burnout. The symptoms of burnout are varied and complicated, but often include a state of emotional exhaustion, an increase in detachment, and a decrease in productivity. Research shows burnout has negative effects on healthcare systems and ultimately the quality of patient care.1 Moreover, it impacts the health of clinicians and contributes to the loss of practicing physicians.
Shrm health-care-reform-impact-costs-coverage
This survey found that most organizations expect health care costs to increase in 2014 due to the Affordable Care Act. Specifically, 84% of organizations expect costs to rise, with over half anticipating a 1-10% increase. Most organizations plan to pass these increased costs onto employees. The survey also found that more organizations will offer coverage to part-time employees and reduce the minimum work hours to qualify for coverage in 2014. Finally, effective communication strategies will be important to explain 2014 benefit changes to newly eligible employees.

This study aimed to identify unsafe behaviors among construction workers in Iran and determine if Kiken Yochi Training (KYT) could reduce them. Observations were made of 452 workers before and after a 3-month KYT intervention. Unsafe behaviors were reduced by about 36% after training. Common risky behaviors included unsafe equipment use and poor ergonomics. KYT effectively diminished unsafe behaviors and increased awareness. There was a relationship between unsafe behaviors and age, experience, job type, education, and past accidents. The study concluded KYT and safety training can significantly decrease unsafe behaviors at work.

Bullying and Harassment in Australian Workplaces
Results from the Australia Workplace Barometer Project 2014/2015
ASSE Journal Martin and Black_0915
This document summarizes a study of workplace injury data from seven large multinational corporations. The study found:
1) While minor workplace injuries have decreased significantly in recent decades, serious injuries and fatalities have decreased at a slower rate.
2) An analysis of over 1,000 injury cases revealed that a subset of reported non-serious injuries actually had potential to result in serious injury or fatality if circumstances were different.
3) Current safety management systems may not be adequately addressing the precursors and risk factors for serious injuries and fatalities. New approaches are needed to drive further reductions in serious and fatal workplace events.

The study explored bullying in three New Zealand industry sectors: education, health, and hospitality. Key informants reported that bullying and stress were significant issues. In phase 1 interviews, bullying was seen as widespread in education and health but associated with "hotspots" in hospitality, like kitchens. In phase 2 surveys of 494 employees, 25% reported being bullied and factors like ineffective leadership, poor organizational support, and work climate were linked to higher levels of bullying and poorer well-being. The researchers concluded that bullying has meaningful negative effects and interventions need to address systemic organizational factors rather than just treating it as an individual problem.
Causes of Accidents in Industries SHE.docx
This document provides a comprehensive literature review on the causes of accidents in industries, with a focus on three primary factors: human factors, work environment, and management.
The review examines numerous studies that have investigated: (1) how human errors are a leading cause of accidents due to factors like behavior, training and motivation; (2) how the physical work environment and safety protocols can influence accident frequency; and (3) how management decisions around issues like procedures, communication and leadership impact workplace safety culture. The literature demonstrates that accidents typically result from complex interactions among human, environmental and management factors, and emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt comprehensive prevention strategies that consider all of these dimensions.

Identification of Occupational Health Hazards and Assessment of Intervention ...
Occupational hazards present a major public health problem resulting in serious social and economic consequences that could be prevented if appropriate measures are taken. The focus of this paper is the identification of occupational health hazards and assessment of intervening strategies in the working environment in Minna metropolis of Niger state, Nigeria. Specific objectives are to ascertain the prevalence of occupational health hazards, to identify occupational health hazards common among workers in the small, medium, and large enterprises, and to assess the intervention strategies put in place by the management of such enterprises in addressing such hazards. This is necessitated given that the study of this kind is scarce in the area. Hence the is a felt need to carry out this research. Arising from this, the cross sectional design was adopted with the use of a questionnaire as the main instrument for data collection from a sample size of 385. Out of the sample size, only 222 questionnaires were returned for analysis. The data collected was analysised using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The result was statistically interpreted. The study revealed that the prevalence level of workplace related problems among workers in Small and Medium enterprises is significantly high, there is a significant association between the levels of occupational hazards and workplace related health problems, there is little or no Health Intervention Support among respondents in Small, Medium and large enterprises in Minna, Niger State. The study recommends among others that workers should be properly trained and educated on the use of work related equipment to avoid health related accidents. Public health preventative services such as the provision of flu vaccines, and protective equipment may be one way of supporting workers in small and medium enterprises with acute seasonal episodes of health problems.

This document discusses the need to change paradigms and practices around preventing major losses in the workplace. It makes three key points:
1) Current safety systems are often designed to reduce minor incidents but do not adequately address preventing major losses like fatalities or serious injuries. New tools and approaches are needed that focus on low probability, high severity events.
2) Common safety metrics like injury rates are lagging indicators and may give a false sense of security. Leading indicators and proactive identification of hazards are needed to truly understand risks.
3) A process for preventing major losses should identify catastrophic hazards, examine human factors more deeply, understand why losses actually occur, and apply a hierarchy of controls with engineering solutions

It describes how TeamSTEPPS was developed based on over 25 years of research in various high-risk industries. The framework focuses on team structure, leadership, situation monitoring, mutual support, communication, and developing team competencies. Proper teamwork and communication are emphasized as ways to address issues like medical errors during handoffs and reduce preventable adverse events.
Home Risk Assessment Essay
This home summarizes the results of a risk assessment conducted on a private home housing a family with 5 children aged 2-15. The assessment found minimal risks, but some hazards relating to falls from heights over 5 feet, particularly from windows and staircases in the home. While there was some controlled mold present, research did not support it posing a health concern. Falls were identified as the main risk due to lack of window guards and stair gates. Statistics on falls for young children show they are a leading cause of injury and death.
Nz Ps S Conference 2009
This study examined bullying in three New Zealand industries: education, health, and hospitality. Key findings include:
1) Bullying was reported by 25% of respondents, with some experiencing it weekly or more often. The nature of negative behaviors varied between organizations.
2) Bullying was correlated with lower well-being, higher strain, and less organizational support and constructive leadership.
3) Effective organizational strategies and problem-focused coping were associated with less reported bullying, while laissez-faire leadership was associated with more bullying.

Human Factors - Driver for Safety Management, Engineering and Risk Governance
Human Factors - Driver for Safety Management, Engineering and Risk GovernanceThe Windsdor Consulting Group, Inc.
Human factors, particularly human error, impacts how everyone works. Understanding how human factors affects productivity, quality, profitability, and prosperity in a global market. In the fourth industrial revolution, which is occurring now, it's very important to understand not only the work but how the works gets done. Using technology and innovations can help improve speed and reliability but humans are the driver for safety culture and behavior. Engineering, administrative controls and the use of personal protective clothing and equipment can help protect workers but understanding and doing the correctly each and every time will lead toward sustainable objectives and reduce waste and maximize time toward product/service output. Where emphasis is placed within the organization depends on the risk governance and strategic management objectives. The higher the risk the greater the reward or catastrophic loss. Understanding people and how they work is the safety catalyst in maximizing profits, productivity and quality. Safety and health management and organizational productivity edited

Fishing for information - an ergonomics scoping assessment
Fishing for information - an ergonomics scoping assessmentOccupational Health and Safety Industry Group
This document summarizes an assessment of musculoskeletal disorders on large fishing vessels in New Zealand. It finds that the risk of injury is highest on vessels over 24 meters due to more time spent at sea, more crew members, and more physically demanding tasks. The assessment identified manual handling and slips/trips/falls as the most common causes of injury. It observed many physically demanding tasks performed in difficult conditions and proposed that interventions focusing on ergonomic improvements, training, fitness and hydration could help reduce injuries in the fishing industry.Sorry, but I need to resign

This document discusses occupational health risk assessment, legal compliance, and uncertainties. It covers New Zealand's Health and Safety Reform Bill requiring employers to eliminate or minimize risks. It also discusses risk management standards and the risk assessment process of identification, analysis, and evaluation. The document outlines uncertainties that can arise in risk identification, analysis, criteria, and evaluation for airborne exposures. It emphasizes that a lack of knowledge and imperfect information can introduce uncertainty, and risk assessors must consider how uncertainties affect the overall risk evaluation and what can be done to manage uncertainties.

The document outlines various standards regarding risk assessment, guards, safety distances, and safety control systems that are relevant for achieving safe machinery guarding.
Effective health and safety strategies for an aging workforce
Effective health and safety strategies for an aging workforceOccupational Health and Safety Industry Group
This document discusses effective health and safety strategies for an aging workforce in New Zealand. It notes that over 1 million New Zealanders are aged 55+ and nearly half of them work. As the population continues to age, employers will need to prepare for an older workforce. The document recommends that employers understand the specific needs of older workers, develop age-based risk assessments to account for common health issues, and provide tailored training, support programs and flexible work arrangements. The key messages are to identify the needs of the aging workforce, develop a risk strategy based on those needs, and provide relevant health and safety information.Healthy living
The document discusses creating a healthy lifestyle through work-life balance. It emphasizes finding meaningful work that provides physical activity, social connection, and financial security. It recommends developing a career plan to ensure work remains fulfilling and aligns with one's goals. Additionally, it suggests maintaining health through regular checkups, exercise, nutrition, financial planning, and avoiding stressors like smoking or overwork. The overall message is that prioritizing well-being, balance, and fulfillment across work, health, and personal life leads to positive outcomes.
Fit and well for work
This document discusses health loss and its causes in New Zealand. It uses the measure of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to estimate health loss. Mental disorders, injury, and chronic diseases are among the leading causes of health loss across different age groups. Projections estimate a 13% increase in DALYs from 2006 to 2016, with cancer, heart disease, and anxiety/depressive disorders as the top causes. Risk factors like tobacco use, high BMI, and injury risks are preventable contributors to health loss. The document advocates for occupational health programs to identify workplace hazards, monitor employee health, and manage risks to keep employees fit for work.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
