Abstract

Occupational health and safety (OHS) management has expanded in companies, and research is in-dicating benefits for both workers’ health and safety and for business performance. However, OHS management tend to end in a sidecar to the operations management (OM). Our analysis indicate that the conflict between the two fields may be explained by conflicts between the dominant logics – risk for OHS management and optimisation for OM. New broader understandings of need for worker well-being and commitment for both OHS and OM open for a closer integration of the two fields.
