Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) are a vital element in ensuring worker welfare and increasing industrial productivity worldwide. However, comparative studies between countries are still quite limited. This study aims to describe the trends and patterns of OHS research in the UK, Brazil, and India using bibliometric methods. Data were taken from the Web of Science database for the period 2000 to 2024, analyzed using Bibliometrix (R) and VOSviewer software to identify collaborations between authors, key keywords, and citation structures. The findings of this study indicate that the UK shows an advantage in terms of international collaboration and policy-focused research, Brazil is more concerned with ergonomic risks and the informal sector, while India shows developments in ergonomic issues and work behavior. The results of this study provide significant contributions to the development of more targeted OHS research and policy strategies that are in accordance with the context between countries.
