It has adapted the traditional Hierarchy of Controls, a prioritization strategy validated over decades of safety interventions, to apply to TWH efforts.  A literature review identified TWH interventions and categorized them according to the controls used from the adapted Hierarchy of Controls.

Take-home messages:

  • TWH intervention tactics from each Hierarchy level have produced measurable, positive changes in the workplace
  • The majority of TWH interventions have employed control tactics or methods classified as Educate, the least preferred tactic
  • Most interventions used more than one control strategy from the Hierarchy of Controls
  • Most interventions were aimed at employees, often combined with supervisors
