Abstract

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) defines as "policies, programs and practices that integrate protection from work-related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness prevention efforts to advance worker well-being." This editorial features an interview with Dr Laura Linnan, a leader of the workplace health and well-being movement and a Principal Investigator for one of the ten 'Centers of Excellence in Total Worker Health' sponsored by NIOSH to study how approaches to better integrating health and safety can improve outcomes. We discuss differences between "comprehensive approaches" to workplace wellness and a approach. I also interview ChatGBT to assess whether the latest in artificial intelligence is accurate in its understanding of contemporary workplace based health promotion.
