This study evaluated training transfer after a Total Worker Health (TWH) training with Mexican safety engineers and occupational medicine physicians and residents. We used a mixed methods analysis to assess responses pre- and post-training and 3-months after. Nearly three quarters (73%) of participants applied a TWH concept from the course into their work. Over half (52%) of participants worked to change the way they applied the TWH approach, examples included broadened awareness of what health means at work and the need for workforce engagement. While changes in TWH practices occurred, gaps remained. The TWH training facilitated behavior changes, particularly in leadership for TWH practices. Factors supporting skill transfer included a national-level TWH-type program, positive mindsets, and willingness to implement change. Additional training is needed to address specific skills in TWH risk assessment and controls.
