The positive reception of Wang and Burris' photovoice method, published in 1997, has led to a proliferation of ways in which professionals deploy photovoice in a widening range of application fields, e.g., public health, social development and phenomenological research of human experiences. A scoping review method is used to obtain an overview of current photovoice designs and of application examples in the health and safety domain. The results show a variety of method designs. Our findings indicate that all of the photovoice designs are composed from different combinations of eleven process steps. Five generic objectives cover the range of application examples found in our literature study. We therefore condensed the variety into five generic photovoice designs for: (a) communication, (b) education, (c) exploration, (d) awareness, and (e) empowerment purposes. We propose this for use in a classification system. The potential for application of these photovoice designs in safety management is illustrated by the existence of various safety related application examples. We argue that the five generic designs will facilitate the implementation and usage of photovoice as a tool. We recommend that both a theoretical framework and guidance are further developed. We conclude that photovoice holds potential for application in health and safety management.
1997 年，王和伯里斯（Wang and Burris）的摄影法得到了积极的反响，此后，专业人士在越来越多的应用领域中运用摄影法的方式也层出不穷，例如公共卫生、社会发展和人类经验的现象学研究。本研究采用范围综述方法，概述了当前摄影法的设计和在健康与安全领域的应用实例。结果显示了各种方法设计。我们的研究结果表明，所有的摄影法设计都是由十一个过程步骤的不同组合构成的。五个通用目标涵盖了我们文献研究中发现的应用实例的范围。因此，我们将多样性归纳为五种通用的摄影法设计，用于：（a）沟通、（b）教育、（c）探索、（d）意识和（e）赋权目的。我们建议将其用于分类系统。通过存在各种与安全相关的应用实例，说明了这些摄影法设计在安全管理中的应用潜力。我们认为，这五种通用设计将促进摄影法作为一种工具的实施和使用。我们建议进一步开发理论框架和指导。我们得出的结论是，摄影法在健康和安全管理中有应用的潜力。
