The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review examining predictors of lost-time injury, illness and disability (IID) in the workplace, with a focus on obesity as a predictor, and to evaluate the relationship between obesity and losttime IID. The study objective was also to analyze workplace disability prevention and interventions aimed at encouraging a healthy lifestyle among employees and reducing obesity and IID, as well as to identify research gaps. The search was conducted in several major online databases. Articles included in the review were published in English in peer-reviewed journals between January 2003 and December 2014, and were found to be of good quality and of relevance to the topic. Each article was critically reviewed for inclusion in this study. Studies that focused on lost-time IID in the workplace were reviewed and summarized. Workers in overweight and obese categories are shown to be at a higher risk of workplace IID, are more likely to suffer from lost-time IID, and experience a slower recovery compared to workers with a healthy body mass index (BMI) score. Lost-time IID is costly to an employer and an employee; therefore, weight reduction may financially benefit both -workers and companies. It was found that some companies have focused on developing interventions that aid reduction of weight and the practice of active lifestyle among their employees.

“…Others targeted broader audiences that included workplaces along with intermediaries such as consultants, practitioners and OHS policy makers [e.g. Castillo et al, 2006;Costa-Black, Cheng, Li, & Loisel, 2011;Gillen, 2010;Mayhew, 1997;Reardon, Lavis, & Gibson, 2006;Roy et al, 2003(see also Parent, & Beliveau, 2003; Schulte, 2002;Schulte et al, 2003;Sinclair et al, 2013]. Some of the approaches that targeted audiences focused on intermediaries such as consultants, OHS practitioners, industry representatives and the public to reach workplace audiences (e.g.…”

Workplace injury and illness can be burdensome for workers and workplaces regardless of jurisdiction. The notion of research to practice is important in health and safety research. The objective of this article is to describe and synthesize the literature describing knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) approaches relevant to workplaces. A rapid review of the literature was done. Search strategies were run in eight electronic databases. Documents describing a KTE approach for workplaces were reviewed. Data related to key aspects of the KTE approach as well as conceptual guidance were extracted and synthesized. Literature searches revealed 34 documents that described 23 different KTE approaches designed to reach workplace audiences. Many KTE approaches were guided by conceptual frameworks. Common elements related to audience, activities and impact were found to guide future KTE approaches. Including workplace parties as an audience in a multifaceted approach are important principles of KTE for health and safety.

“…These systems usually arise from the legislative framework existing in a state or country [11]. In recent years, Asian countries have also started to place greater emphasis on developing and evaluating the effectiveness of occupational rehabilitation programs that are contextualized within their societies, in the absence of work injury management policies [12,13,14]. In Hong Kong, a pilot case management system implemented by an independent service provider for injured workers at one company found that the use of a case manager, who worked closely with a group of injured workers, was more effective in reducing sick leave and compensation costs, compared to just conventional rehabilitation [15].…”
