"This article reports on a detailed review of the published research literature and other relevant published information concerning work health and safety (WHS) in global supply chains (GSCs). It identifies the drivers and opportunities for enhancing WHS in GSCs, as well as highlighting challenges in achieving this. Its focus is on identifying and analysing determinants and constraints in and around GSC relations for supporting improved practices and outcomes for WHS for workers in these chains. It provides evidence of the dynamics of relations within and surrounding GSC operation and the regulatory influences upon them that may lead to improved WHS practices and outcomes, as well as on the national and global contexts in which they occur."
