This discussion paper is intended to start a dialogue about prevention among those who are interested in making workplaces safer and healthier. The following four key themes are presented to build a framework for further discussion and activity: theme 1 -- with multiple causes for workplace injury, illness, and disability, preventing these problems requires multiple solutions, operating in synergy; theme 2 -- efforts to reduce workplace injury, illness, and disability must build on both primary and secondary prevention approaches, merging these to create a more effective strategy; theme 3 -- before which strategies work and which do not can be agreed upon, a shared understanding is needed of how the effectiveness of occupational health interventions should be evaluated; and theme 4 -- building relationships between those who do research and those who use research knowledge is important if relevant research is to be produced that is readily taken up and applied to improve occupational health and safety.
本讨论文件旨在引发那些致力于使工作场所更安全、更健康的人士之间关于预防问题的对话。以下提出四个关键主题，以构建进一步讨论和行动的框架：主题1——由于工作场所受伤、患病和残疾存在多种原因，预防这些问题需要多种协同发挥作用的解决方案；主题2——减少工作场所受伤、患病和残疾的努力必须基于一级预防和二级预防方法，并将两者结合起来，以制定更有效的策略；主题3——在就哪些策略有效、哪些无效达成共识之前，需要就应如何评估职业健康干预措施的有效性形成共同理解；主题4——如果要开展相关研究并使其易于被采纳和应用于改善职业健康与安全，那么在从事研究的人员与运用研究知识的人员之间建立关系至关重要。
