Abstract or Introduction

This professional doctoral thesis titled "Of Warriors and Worriers: Exploring Influencing Side Effects of Contemporary Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Practice in the Remit of Frontline Police Work" critically considers how police culture (action and risk-oriented) relates to emerging safety culture in operational policing (seeking to manage or eliminate risks). That way, based on a cross-cultural exploratory sequential mixed-method research design amongst frontline police officers from England (N = 12/113) and Malta (N = 144/654), this study explored so far undiscovered side effects of OSH practice in the remit of frontline police work. In conclusion, the presented study highlights the need for and importance of always critically reflecting on applied OSH practice and always keeping a balance when it comes to police health and safety interventions.
