UL's Integrated Health & Safety Institute, a nonprofit institute developing integrated health and safety programs, published a standard for health and safety strategies.
Here are five takeaways:
1. The institute worked with industry stakeholders to develop The Standard for Integrating Health and Safety in the Workplace.
2. The standard offers companies strategies to implement integrated health and safety programming with IHSI's Integrated Health and Safety Index.
3. UL and the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine developed the index based on economic, environmental and social factors.
4. The UHSI was founded in June 2015.
5. "Over the last several decades, health and safety workplace activities have evolved in tandem, but they operated mostly independently, with separate work teams and organizational reporting structures," said Todd Hohn, ISHI's global director.
