Abstract

Evidence-based practice or evidence-informed decision-making is considered a vital and practical approach to prevent workplace accidents and injuries (van Dijk et al., 2010; Van Eerd, 2019). Despite discussions to better support evidence-informed practice in occupational health and safety (OHS) (Baker et al., 2015; Schulte, 2017; Waterson, 2016), OHS research and systematic reviews describing various interventions to address occupational injuries (Dyreborg et al., 2022; Teufer et al., 2019), challenges remain in getting this research into practice (Van Eerd, 2019). Understanding the linkage between research and practice is needed to support evidence informed OHS policy and practices.
