A popular analysis used to explore scientific data today is to use bibliometric analysis. Bibliometric analysis will be carried out by exploring data taken from scopus indexed journals. in addition, visualizing the program is done using the help of the VOSviewer application. The purpose of bibliometric analysis in this study is to determine the development of research related to program coordination. Specifically, this article discusses the development of literature, publication trends, authors, keywords used in the span of the last 10 years (2012–2022). Data were collected from the Scopus database using the keywords “occupational health and safety” “system dynamic” and “system thinking”. The results showed that the results of data exploration showed the number of publications per year from 2012–2022 as many as 67 citations. Salmon, P.M. is a researcher who has the greatest productivity in these keywords. Then, the country that publishes the most articles with related keywords is Australia.

“…Implementing the OHSMS not only protects employees' health but also contributes to their wellbeing and, therefore, benefits society (Karanikas et al, 2020). This impact is reflected not only in the economic sphere but also in the social fabric of the country, which justifies the existence of regulations and standards regarding occupational safety and health (Salguero-Caparrós et al, 2020).…”

Today, many organizations are seeking to implement continuous improvement plans not only to achieve greater economic benefits but also to improve the quality of life for their employees. The importance of reducing and preventing workplace accidents, protecting the health and well-being of employees, and preventing work-related illnesses has increased. This article focuses on the development of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) for an organization in the real estate and property development services sector in Bogotá. The design of the OHSMS is based on the identification of the deficiencies of the current system and the proposal of continuous improvement, according to the ISO 45001: 2018 standard. The design process included three stages of research: 1. initial diagnosis, 2. hazard and risk assessment, and 3. management system performance assessment with appropriate controls and indicators. This article evaluates working conditions in production and in enclosed spaces, such as offices. The integration of these aspects ensures a comprehensive vision of occupational health and safety in real estate and property development companies. The design of the OHSMS is an essential step towards the continuous improvement of working conditions and the well-being of employees. Compliance with the ISO 45001: 2018 standard aims to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all members of the organization.

“…Among the areas of great interest in the growing OHSM research are effects of OHSM on employee performance (Karanikas et al, 2020; Nkrumah et al, 2021; Zacharatos et al, 2005); OHSM, work place injuries and diseases (Gilks & Logan, 2010; Shea et al, 2016); and OHSM costs to organizations (Bayram et al, 2017). While acknowledging that these studies have contributed to our understanding of OHSM, they have mostly done so in the context of economies with functional institutions, leaving a knowledge gap as to whether firms in developing countries, especially those in sub‐Saharan Africa formulate and implement OHSM policies, and how that affects employees' perceived QOL.…”

“…Previous studies have largely focused on the impact of OHSM on employee and organizational performance (Karanikas et al, 2020; Nkrumah et al, 2021; Tompa et al, 2016), whilst neglecting an equally important issue of the influence of OHSM on employees' perceived QOL. Yet, employees' QOL—the state of being healthy, happy, contented, and comfortable and satisfied with one's life has consequences on performance (Grawitch et al, 2007).…”

This study explores the formulation and implementation of occupational health and safety management (OHSM) policies by multinational manufacturing firms operating in sub‐Saharan Africa and how they influence employees' quality of life (QOL). We used Afrifoods (pseudonym), a food manufacturing multinational company in Ghana as a case. Gathering qualitative data through interviews, focus group discussions, and archival sources, we found that despite the prevailing institutional deficiencies in sub‐Saharan African countries especially in ensuring the implementation of health and safety policies, food manufacturing multinational companies formulate and implement health and safety policies. And, the high rates of unemployment notwithstanding, employees of manufacturing companies prioritize safe and healthy working environment and consider it the first and most important attribute of their QOL. Employees also consider being able to provide their family needs as well as being recognized for the efforts expended at work as other determinants of their QOL. Multinational firms operating or intending to go into sub‐Saharan Africa should consider health and safety policies as indispensable in their business strategy formulation, if they wish to get the maximum benefit from their employees. Governments must also intensify monitoring to ensure firms' compliance with national health and safety laws at their work sites.
