Teamwork among occupational health and safety professionals, management, and employees is vital to solving today's complex problems cost-effectively. No single discipline can meet all the needs of workers and the workplace. However, teamwork can be time-consuming and difficult if attention is not given to the role of the team leader, the necessary skills of team members, and the importance of a supportive environment. Bringing team members together regularly to foster positive relationships and infuse them with the philosophy of strength in diversity is essential for teams to be sustained and work to be accomplished. By working in tandem, occupational health and safety professionals can become the model team in business and industry delivering on their promise of a safe and healthy workplace for America's work force.
职业健康与安全专业人员、管理层和员工之间的团队合作对于经济高效地解决当今复杂问题至关重要。没有任何一个单一学科能够满足工人和工作场所的所有需求。然而，如果不关注团队领导者的角色、团队成员所需的技能以及支持性环境的重要性，团队合作可能会既耗时又困难。定期召集团队成员以培养积极的关系，并向他们灌输多元优势的理念，对于团队的持续发展和工作的完成至关重要。通过协同合作，职业健康与安全专业人员能够成为商业和工业领域的模范团队，兑现为美国劳动力提供安全健康工作场所的承诺。
