The evolution of new and emerging occupational health and safety risks: A qualitative review.

Background: Work itself and occupational health and safety (OHS) have evolved through industrial revolutions and will also continue to evolve in the future.

Objective: The aim of this qualitative literature review was to examine how the scientific discussion on new and emerging risks (NERs) related to OHS has evolved in recent decades in developed and newly industrialized countries.

Methods: A search of the Scopus database yielded 34 articles published before 2000 and from 2020 onwards.

Occupational safety and health and temporary agency work in multiemployer restaurants.

Background: Current occupational safety and health (OSH) literature calls for sociotechnical, system-level approaches that increase understanding of the underlying reasons for insufficient OSH performance in nonstandard employment that is associated with lower labour and social security protection when compared with traditional forms of work.

Objective: This study focused on temporary agency work (TAW) which is a central form of nonstandard employment. The objective was to explore OSH issues in temporary agency work (TAW) in small and medium-sized multiemployer restaurants in Finland and discuss the issues from the perspectives of the agency worker, user company and agency.

The path toward successful safety performance measurement.

Introduction: Safety management is widely seen as a key contributor to occupational health and safety (OHS) performance. Performance measurement is an important tool for management in reaching its goals. Safety performance measurement has gained increasing attention in the literature.

Designing a map for measuring and managing safety performance.

The purpose of this study is to present a model - the safety performance map - that specifies the key factors influencing organizations' safety performance and suggests the relationships between the identified factors. There is a need for an exhaustive illustration of the path leading to occupational health and safety (OHS) supporting measuring, managing and developing OHS proactively. A qualitative multiple-case study consisted of three stages: design, iteration and testing of the created model.

Supporting Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment Skills: A Case Study of Five Companies.

Financial burden due to poor occupational safety practices remains high although occupational health and safety (OHS) have improved in recent years. Conducting risk assessment is one way to improve OHS. Workplaces may not have sufficient expertise in risk assessment.
