Employers’ utilization of and collaboration with occupational health services in preventive occupational health and safety management

The utilization of OHS within preventive OHSM is limited, and increased utilization may improve the ability of employers to successfully implement OHSM. The successful organization of OHSM practices and the OHS contract were key factors in a successful collaboration with OHS. Working together in preventive OHSM may also strengthen social capital for all stakeholders, which could further enhance collaboration.
