The aim of this study was to describe levels of integration between occupational safety and health (OSH) and workplace wellness programs/practices/policies ("programs") among participants in an insurer-sponsored wellness grant program.
We analyzed survey responses about year 1 of an insurer-sponsored grant to start a wellness program from 220 small- and medium-sized employers. Responses yielded 25 indicators of OSH-wellness integration, and 10 additional indicators to summarize multiple responses.
At least half of the employers (N = 220) reported some level of integration within five of seven categories of OSH-wellness integration. Employers sometimes considered ergonomics, safety, or substance exposure hazards while designing their wellness program (15%) or reduced such hazards to support their wellness program (24%). Few meaningful differences were observed by employer size.
Although high levels of integration were unusual, some degree of integration was common for most indicator categories.
本研究旨在描述参加保险公司赞助的健康计划补助金计划的参与者在职业安全与健康(OSH)和工作场所健康计划/实践/政策(“计划”)之间的整合程度。
我们分析了来自 220 家中小型雇主的保险公司赞助的健康计划补助金计划第一年的调查回复。这些回复产生了 25 个 OSH-健康整合指标,以及 10 个额外的指标来总结多个回复。
至少一半的雇主(N=220)在七个 OSH-健康整合类别中的五个类别中报告了某种程度的整合。雇主在设计他们的健康计划时有时会考虑人体工程学、安全或物质暴露危害(15%)或降低这些危害以支持他们的健康计划(24%)。雇主规模之间观察到的差异很小。
尽管高水平的整合并不常见,但对于大多数指标类别来说,一定程度的整合是常见的。
