What this lesson covers
This lesson covers NIOSH's Total Worker Health (TWH) approach: integrating protection from work hazards with efforts to advance worker well-being, while still putting a hazard-free workplace first. It matters because CHST questions ask what TWH means, what comes first, and how it applies to construction work such as long shifts and physically demanding tasks.
