Abstract The objective of this research project was to provide evidence, arguments and recommendations in relation to the development of a more unified framework for the HSE's programme on health, work and wellbeing. Essentially, it was to determine whether the management standards approach could be used more widely to address the most common health problems at work. A better understanding of the current strengths and weaknesses of the management standards approach and its potential had to be developed. This need was addressed using a Delphi methodology, framed by a focussed review of the relevant scientific and professional literature, to elicit, harvest and explore expert knowledge in this area. Findings are discussed.
