Editorial
I
am so honored to compose summaries about these remark-
able articles in this issue of Journal of Safety Health and
Environmental Research (JSHER).
In the first article, the authors Yorio and Wachter devel-
oped a theoretical argument regarding the important place that
human-performance-focused safety and health (S&H) man-
agement practices serve within the comprehensive safety and
health management system. Within their article, the authors
proposed 10 distinct but interrelated S&H-specific high-perfor-
mance work practices (HPWPs) that might be used by orga-
nizations to improve occupational S&H performance through
human S&H performance. The authors hypothesized that the
presence of individual S&H-HPWPs, as well as the system of
S&H-HPWPs, would increase the task and team safety behav-
iors relevant to work in an interdependent context and subse-
quently reduce occupational injuries and illnesses.
To execute the study, organizational managers provided in-
formation to the researchers regarding the organizational struc-
ture and the number of recordable and lost-time injuries and
illnesses each group experienced. Using structural equation
modeling software, the authors found support for a conceptual
