Research Aims

Generate new knowledge and update the global state of the art on OSH service delivery

Advance knowledge of OSH service delivery in High Income countries (HICs) and low and middle income countries (LMICs)


Update existing conceptual models on OSH services


Provide consensus on priorities for the future of effective OSH service delivery with a global focus

Mobilise the global OSH community to promote the translation of the research outputs in policy and practice and achieve future global impact

Research Method and Timeline

The research project uses a mixed methods approach:

ICOH Global Survey on OSH Services:

The survey will provide an opportunity to compare and update findings and generate new knowledge that will inform the global state of the art on OSH services delivery. It will also advance knowledge of OSH services implementation in HICs and LMICs while considering relevant influencing factors, drivers and barriers.

Case study development:

A series of case studies will be developed outlining the national-level OSH systems and provisions within purposively selected national contexts.

Interviews with key stakeholders:

Semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and experts will supplement the findings of the global survey and case study analysis and focus further on facilitators and barriers of OSH service delivery and implementation.
