Abstract

Workplace chronic disease has added an economic burden to the Thai healthcare system, Most Thai’s spend most of their time at work, so employers are also given opportunities to protect and promote health. The purpose of this study was to assess the application of workplace health governance and workplace safety strategies in the Province of Nakhon Nayok. Over time and by industry using randomized surveys compare as a weighted percentage by industry sector and job site size. Analysis of questionnaires revealed that all employees participated in health and safety related discussions. We also observed whether the work areas in the company were equipped with ventilation devices or not. Health Care, Social welfare % (CI) was conducted and analysed. The findings support the need for targeted approaches to building organizational capacity for comprehensive and integrated workplace health and safety programs in industries most affected by chronic disease and workplace injuries. Opportunities to improve the health, safety and well-being of employees using TWH strategies are greater than in blue-collar industries where adoption of governance and planning strategies is low.
