Article 1
This article summarized that OSH (occupational safety and health) plays a vital role in the
current organization as it supports in influencing and retaining the workforces and transforming
their behavior and attitudes within an organization. This article focuses on the issue of OSH and
employee rewards. It is illustrated that OSH can be implemented in difficult assessment
procedure related to compensation system. There is a need for inclusion of the working condition
in such assessments because this article focuses on significance of workforce compensation such
as financial and non-financial factors. An assessment of compensation plan that entails
occupational safety and health can provide different advantageous but there is a need for
methodical assessment of reward system such as occupational safety and health. Implementation
of occupational safety and health within inclusive assessment related to compensation system
endorses responsible behavior related to stakeholders (Beck-Krala & Klimkiewicz, 2016).
In current times, supportive working atmosphere, particularly OSH policy as well as action play
is strategic role for attaining the goal of an organization because it supports in effective human
capital management. This article demonstrated that total reward (TR) is a comprehensive
strategy with regards to compensation of workers, and a positive working atmosphere is one of
the significant component related to compensation package. It links occupational safety and
health performance to business compensation because of transparent as well as integrated
occupational safety and health management aids in improving the performance of an
organization. Investment in total reward and OSH should be demonstrated not only related to
cost associated with the employer but also, it provides different benefits to all stakeholders.
These benefits are more competent and healthier employees, employee commitment, and boost

GLOBAL BUSINESS 4
productivity, reduction in business expenses, disruption, and improvement in brand value as well
as image (Beck-Krala & Klimkiewicz, 2016).
For example, Jollys' Pharmacy Ltd can monitor the OSH performance as it would not only
support in declining cost related to the negative impact of the unsafe working atmospheres such
as employee dissatisfaction, high level of work stress, and anxiety but also, helps to eliminate the
acute situation by effective prevention such as an accident at workplace. It can be also
summarized that broad and methodological assessment with measure has been intended to create
a favorable impact on workforces. It would be beneficial in the development and enhancement of
OSH at the workplace (Beck-Krala & Klimkiewicz, 2016).
But, to attain this, employers should emphasize the significance of occupational safety and health
and deliberately generates comprehensible policy, which would be fully integrated with human
capital management strategy. It is favoured by the compensation system. Hence, the company
should implement this system to engage the workforces and generates desired attitude and
behavior with respect to OSH at the workplace. Hence, the key to developing OSH is to keep
safety in the workplace culture. It helps in improving the existing procedures and techniques.
This proactive strategy would offer long-term advantageous to all stakeholders of the company.
OSH could be maintained by global business in terms of offering the compensation and training
& development (Beck-Krala & Klimkiewicz, 2016).
Article 2
It can be summarized that safety training practices are a significant aspect of safety management
in the construction site. In addition, the perception of safety professional is beneficial for training
practices in a safety training session. Information was gathered via survey management on top
400 contractors in U.S. This article indicates that contractors are thoughtful towards

GLOBAL BUSINESS 5
organizational process, content, feedback and employees concerns. It is evaluated that whenever
contractors identified language issue, they should practice visual supports with facilitates
interpreters with safety strategies written in own language of employees (Demirkesen & Arditi,
2015).
There are statistically significant differences in the perspective of demographic features
regarding participants. The contribution of research is that it expresses opinion regarding safety
employees regarding the ways of attaining safety learning. It helps in identifying the
organizational feedback, process, employee issues, and content during a training session. It
enables the project managers to obtain best practices at the time of safety training initiatives.
This theoretical paper was obtained for creating the structure that could be practiced in the study
is a safety program between nurses in Jordanian healthcare (Demirkesen & Arditi, 2015).
In this article, researcher focuses on the history of the work environment as well as safety
performance. The earlier study shows the significance of safety management activities in
transforming the safety performance level specifically, through safety training and commitment
of management towards safety. It is addressed that social exchange theory is used for supporting
this structure. This research contributes to the existing literature by the theoretical illustration of
safety training and management obligation to safety as it is key dimension of safety management
activities (Demirkesen & Arditi, 2015).
The current investigation recommends the possible role of working atmosphere as a mediator
between these past histories. But, this investigation suggests conducting more research on the
work environment for improving the safety performance. Safety training is illustrated as
significant technique to assess organization success as well as success of occupational health and
safety initiatives. Hence, safety training is beneficial to enhance the behavioral skills, as well as

GLOBAL BUSINESS 6
attitudes could be formed by different safety-related training initiatives. Moreover, enhancement
in safety-related results within an organization is role of methodically strategic occupational
health & safety initiatives. This initiative is developed for mentorship, new recruits, and
orientation for new employees, enhancement in occupational health and safety system and
succession planning initiatives (Demirkesen & Arditi, 2015).
In addition, a company can take action for injuries and declines accident rates by developing the
program of safety training. There is an association amongst safety training with safety results
such as accidents, fatalities, injuries, as well as incidents were addressed in the literature. There
is a very little investigation that addresses the impact of safety training on safety performance in
the setting of Jordanian and particularly between nurses with emphasize on working atmosphere.
This framework can be implemented into global business for developing safety and training
program because it helps to improve the safety in the work environment (Demirkesen & Arditi,
2015).
Article 3
It can be summarized that this research is beneficial for the company to beat the competition.
Education is highly popular in current times with the perspective of training for highly
professional employees. But, the goal can be attained by the mean of generating the favorable
working and learning condition, as well as keeping the health of teaching student and staff. This
article reveals the concerns of assessing the working condition, nature of impact on health of
student as well as academic employees of Russian State Social University (RSSU). The key
approach is executed in this investigation such as providing the opportunity to study the issue in
the logical association (Vinichenko, Kirillov, Frolova, Kaurova, & Makushkin, 2016). The
comparative analysis method is used to compare the outcome of content analysis related to

GLOBAL BUSINESS 7
documentary information of university as well as the sociological survey. It could be
implemented into global business for improving the working condition of the company. For
example, Archipelago Trading Ltd can implement comparative analysis method for comparing
the environmental condition from the previous condition. This article demonstrates the impact of
working circumstances on the health of teaching staffs and students. There are chances of
gaining the incidence of academic employees and the period of university renewal. There are
methodological and scientific suggestions for the formation of a learning condition and working.
It could be favourable for the health of students (Vinichenko, Kirillov, Frolova, Kaurova, &
Makushkin, 2016).
It can be summarized that there is a high incidence of disease among teaching staff. It is related
to long-standing reforming of university because of optimization related to a number of
professors. There could be a substantial gain in scientific and educational load, the difficulty of
execution of preventive measure in such circumstances and high dynamics of educational
procedures. It can be evaluated that availability and good conditioned protection related to the
object of socio-cultural and recreational intention of the university. It does not contribute to the
enhancement of health because the workforces are not always competent to use their services
because of overflow at work. It can be stated that global business should consider different facts
such as sick list and big teaching load (Vinichenko, Kirillov, Frolova, Kaurova, & Makushkin,
2016).
There are different professional, and patriotic feeling that forced the academic employees to give
classes being sick. This strategy may negatively impact on the health of teachers and contributed
to viral shedding in the institute. Along with this, there is a significant difference in the
assessment of technical service employee disease frequency was addressed. As per the survey

GLOBAL BUSINESS 8
conducted in this research, there are 37% of people who suffered from disease but as per the
statistics of content analysis, suffered more often as compared to others such as 4 times oftener
as compared to teaching employees. It is addressed that the fact that technical service staff
cannot so strongly be attached to the key procedure of university. It can have enough money to
be absent on working place due to sickness. The assessment of statically information on illness
formation, along with depicts that the majority of representative were disabled because of illness
and injury. It could be implemented into global business for offering the health and safety
(Vinichenko, Kirillov, Frolova, Kaurova, & Makushkin, 2016).
Article 4
This article emphasizes an brief of update regarding office of total worker health initiatives of
center. It is related to disease control together with, national institute of preventions for
occupational health and safety. This article demonstrates evolution of TWH initiatives from
2014 to 2018 as well as upcoming steps and directions. It is assessed that the TWH structure is
illustrated as program, policies, and activities that combine the protection from work associated
safety and health risks. It also demonstrates evolution of TWH program from 2014 to 2018 and
future direction with phases. The TWH structure can be illustrated as programs, policies, as well
as practices that combine the safety from work-related activities and health hazards. There is
endorsement of illness and injury prevention efforts for advance employee’s welfare (Tamers,
Chosewood, Childress, Hudson, Nigam, & Chang, 2019).
It is also evaluated that TWH program keeps evolving to respond to demand practice, research,
capacity building information, policy and as well as solution to protection, welfare challenges
that employees and managers face at the workplace. In addition, it is evaluated that the TWH
framework is rooted for protecting and preventing the health of employees, organization and U.S

GLOBAL BUSINESS 9
economy. There are certain challenges faced by the company like stress on the workplace, safety
hazardous, mental health, chronic disease, holistic approaches, and substance misuse as
compared to more limited and siloed ones of history. There would a place for TWH approach
that bridge the distance in which employee’s health concern cross limits of work with home. It
may influence lives of employees in and out of an organization (Tamers, Chosewood, Childress,
Hudson, Nigam, & Chang, 2019).
For general regulation, a voluntary standard is beneficial for widespread adoption of TWH
strategy. In the year of 2018, international company can use standardized illustrated voluntary
standard ISO 45001 i.e. OHS. The direction cannot define a requirement for responsible business
activities. Moreover, it makes competent to the integration of the OSH management system with
other systems such as those associated with employee’s well-being. Another related effort of
policy is linked to TWH approach. It is national standard of Canada for psychological health and
safety within an organisation. It can serve as useful template in relation to other countries that
seeks to enhance the condition of the working environment (Tamers, Chosewood, Childress,
Hudson, Nigam, & Chang, 2019).
In Addition, implementation of the Canadian voluntary standard is built into 2013 and standard
is served as useful direction globally. The goal of policy in national total worker health agenda is
to gain the implementation of TWH. This policy is developed by the external entities. Moreover,
there is growing interest of organizational policies, which combines OSH and business strategy
and activities. The topic covered by guidance involves employee’s sustainability and responsible
organization, small and medium-sized business as well as risk management and worker
compensation. It can be summarised that TWH efforts can protect the health as well as the safety
of employees (Tamers, Chosewood, Childress, Hudson, Nigam, & Chang, 2019).

GLOBAL BUSINESS 10
It also makes advancement in well-being by enhancing the healthier and safer organization and
by identifying the employment, organizational culture, work organization, and supervisory
activities. Integration can be created by coordinated and collaborative programming around the
organizational commitment and leadership. Another factor of developing the integration in
global business is supportive benefits and incentives, combines real-time assessment and
surveillance and management as well as engagement approach that helps to create the corrective
action where required (Tamers, Chosewood, Childress, Hudson, Nigam, & Chang, 2019). For
example, the National Bank of Dominica Ltd can implement the TWH efforts in order to protect
the safety and health of workforces in the global business environment.
Article 5
It can be summarised that workplace safety is one of significant concerns in industries at a global
level and it is endangered by the accident of industry. In addition, several industrial disasters
have consequences of different program at the global level for protecting the human life and
decline the damages of material in the both domestic and global level. It can be concluded that
the ready-made garment industry is significant export-oriented business sectors that face barriers
to make sure the safety at the workplace. The Rana Plaza collapse in the nation of Bangladesh is
the result of non-compliance (Barua & Ansary, 2017).
The accident could be the cause of different domestic with global program to identify issues.
This article defines the progress and attainment of a program for declining the uncertainties in
RMG industry of Bangladesh within 3 years after fatal accident. In long-term, there is issue of
keeping and attaining the sustainability in RMG sector in the nation of Bangladesh. It also
maintains the fulfillment even after of ending support from an external partner. There is no
contradicting that Bangladesh has developed 3 years after Rana Plaza collapse with respect to

GLOBAL BUSINESS 11
attaining the compliance of workplace safety in RMG industry under different action plans like
EU sustainability compact, NTPA and USTR action plan (Barua & Ansary, 2017).
RMG factory develops the inspection during final stage and it is a significant phase with respect
to boosting the safety in different sector. All members of BKMEA and BGMEA are performing
in CAPS. After inspections, NTC can make alliance by investing large amount of money. The
factories that were develop in unplanned manner could be riskier as there is a need to relocate for
safer building according to judgement of review panel. In opposed to this, restricted progression
was perceived in amount of commitment that involves the safety of labor rights, education and
training initiative for building the capacity, remediation work in factories, an rehabilitation and
reemployment of affected employees (Barua & Ansary, 2017).
After Rana Plaza accident, key concerns that RMG sector would face like challenging time.
However, this sector may perform better than other rivalries in post-Rana Plaza times. The
initiatives with their attainments demonstrate that Bangladesh RMG sector is not only making
rigid for keeping the obligatory global standard. However, there are some competing nations
who follow the standard in global business for protecting the health and safety after Rana Plaza
period. It can be summarised that the future attractiveness in RMG sector will rely on alteration
with increasing operational expenses with respect to maintaining the compliance after losing the
support of external partners (Barua & Ansary, 2017).
This review will be advantageous for domestic and global stakeholders for comprehending the
status of workplace safety into Bangladesh RMG sector. It is assessed that after 3 years of
collapsing the Rana Plaza and its development for making sure the compliance with domestic
and global labor standard and labor rights. It would demonstrate the success of domestic with

GLOBAL BUSINESS 12
global business efforts and initiative after the industrial accident in local sector (Barua & Ansary,
2017).
Article 6
It can be summarised that starting with initiative, the company offers a high extent of review
regarding key trends with development in used of applied psychology to occupational safety
field. In the initial work, different factors are considered by the company such as worker
compensation, factory regulation, and investigation on the accident process. Initial investigation
highly focuses on the individual workers, basic protection, and designing of work. The focus is
starting to direct further into context of an organization. One of early efforts is to extend and
beyond individual employees as it significantly emphasizes on safety-related training at mid of
20th century. It is continually moving from individual to broaden organization context (Hofmann,
Burke, & Zohar, 2017).
There were significant increases in organizational climate and leadership investigation. In
addition, this caused in building of multilevel model related to safety culture. After evaluating
these trends, researcher can address the trends, key conclusion, and opportunities for future
investigation. Moreover, looking in across 100 years of investigation on occupation safety
recommends the higher progress. The workplace has become radically safer regarding personal
safety and it seeks a reduction in injuries, accidents, with fatalities in over the time. Furthermore,
work continues to become more difficult but, there are requirement for creating more
comprehensive with an integrated model, process safety, as well as total worker health
(Hofmann, Burke, & Zohar, 2017).
It can be evaluated that the better tying together in these research areas may lead to providing
future trend. It is performed until an integrated picture is not developed by practitioners and

GLOBAL BUSINESS 13
academics. It would be competent to comprehend and develops an effective safety and health
culture at the workplace. Another possibility for future investigation is to explore degree to
which results in occupational safety. It could be induced in other industries in which integration
of local compliance as well as broader procedure entailed in research. It is also assessed that this
model navigates into health care and discussion is made on the financial service industry because
this seems to the parallel of safety investigation (Hofmann, Burke, & Zohar, 2017).
It can be summarised that there are much improvement has been done but, there are chances of
occurring workplace fatalities, injuries, and occurrences of occupational disease. In domain of
occupational safety, high amount of work performed. It is significant to keep this effort
specifically while an individual focuses on beyond the statistics in terms of considering the
people impacted by occupational disease and incidents (Hofmann, Burke, & Zohar, 2017).
It could be easy to observe the cumulative statistics with each additional data points as one more
thought in the database. It should not drop perception of what each of individual data points
demonstrate specifically those signify serious disabling death with damages. For example,
Archipelago Trading Ltd should focus on occupational safety field as it would lead the
employees for performing in safety and healthy way (Hofmann, Burke, & Zohar, 2017).
