4. Conclusions
Expanding the body of knowledge on the data suppor-
ting OSH choices and the business variables inuencing
them was the aim of this study. In order to make ma-
nagement decisions that result in better workplace heal-
th and safety, the experts agreed that information from
many sources and at various organizational levels is re-
quired. Decision-making about OSH is also inuenced
by a few additional factors. Confounding variables that
complicate the interpretation of data from many sources
and the corporate elements that have the biggest impact
on management choices have been brought to light by
the study. e expert view that emerged from the pro-
cess made clear that corporate eorts to enhance OSH
performance enhance employee engagement and the
company’s reputation, both of which support long-term
corporate success.
To make informed decisions, OSH practitioners will
benet from the study’s ndings. Guidelines for OSH
practitioners, managers, and business decision-makers
can be developed using them to enhance their OSH ma-
nagement decision-making procedures.
One of the study’s main limitations is the expert pa-
nel’s diversity and representativeness. Despite the partici-
pants’ extensive backgrounds in occupational safety and
health (OSH), the nal group only included 16 experts,
most of whom were connected to major Hungarian ins-
titutions and companies. e ndings’ applicability to di-
erent organizational sizes, cultural contexts, or industrial
sectors is limited by the sample’s modest size and geo-
graphic concentration. More varied viewpoints should be
incorporated into future studies to improve the results’ ex-
ternal validity and wider applicability.
