Total Worker Health (TWH) is a framework for integrating worker and workplace safety, health, and well-being, which has achieved success in European and US settings. However, the framework has not been implemented in Latin America or in agricultural sectors, leaving large and vulnerable populations underrepresented in the implementation and evaluation of these strategies to improve safety and promote health and well-being. This study presents a case study of how a TWH approach can be applied to a multinational Latin American agribusiness. We describe the process and adaptation strategy for conducting a TWH assessment at multiple organizational levels and in multiple countries. We follow this with a description of a TWH leadership training that was conducted based on the results of the assessment. Finally, we describe our methods to make corporate recommendations for TWH policies and programs that were informed by the TWH assessment and leadership trainings. With this case study we aim to demonstrate the importance and feasibility of conducting TWH in Latin America.
总体员工健康（TWH）是一个整合员工和工作场所安全、健康和福利的框架，在欧洲和美国的环境中已经取得了成功。然而，该框架尚未在拉丁美洲或农业部门实施，使得大量弱势群体在实施和评估这些战略以提高安全性和促进健康和福利方面代表性不足。本研究介绍了如何将 TWH 方法应用于跨国拉丁美农业综合企业的案例研究。我们描述了在多个组织层面和多个国家进行 TWH 评估的过程和适应策略。接下来，我们描述了根据评估结果进行的 TWH 领导力培训。最后，我们描述了我们的方法，以便根据 TWH 评估和领导力培训为 TWH 政策和计划提出公司建议。通过这个案例研究，我们旨在展示在拉丁美洲进行 TWH 的重要性和可行性。
