Can any one tell me if IOSH has done any articles concerning Total worker Health (TWH) reference NIOSH [2016]. National occupational research agenda (NORA)/national Total Worker Health® agenda(2016–2026). If they have not i wonder why.

I would guess the most likely reason why not is that IOSH isn't based in the USA.

Total Worker Health is program promoted by (and copyrighted by) the NIOSH (National institute of Occupational Safety and Health) a US government agency. Essentially it combines the Health parts of a Health and Safety system with the Wellbeing aspects of health promotion. A key driver is the role of employers in the US being largely responsible for paying employees Health care payment contributions under Obama Care legislation. Essentially they pay less if the run this programme. IOSH as has been mentioned is UK based organisation and here we have a state funded NHS, free to everybody (-ish) so the main driver for Total Worker Health does not exist here. Similar programmes to Total Worker Health, have existed in Europe for decades, managed through the social security funding system.
