Workplace safety and health efforts in public health are organizational endeavours that include practices, policies, and interventions intended to reduce hazards, enhance well-being, and guarantee adherence to health and safety laws.We provide the findings from a phone conversation and in-person interviews with 286 manufacturing companies.We carried out a cross-sectional study of the attitudes, behaviours, and policies related to health and safety at work. All company types were subjected to analyses using data from the Lost Time Injury frequency rate (LTIFR). Paternalistic efforts, the documentation of occupational safety and public health (OSPH) measures, more worker participation in making decisions, and enhancing managerial perspectives about the importance of OSPH were all linked to very low LTIFR. The results show the advantages of a proactive strategy for developing a culture of wellness and security in public health contexts and emphasize the crucial role that organizational commitment plays in establishing safer and healthier workplaces.In conclusion, safer workplaces are characterized by worker and management engagement in OSPH activities. Additionally, there is a correlation between reduced injury rates and management's overall concern for OSPH, as demonstrated by both attitudes and practical actions.
