Networking collaborative research and training in Asian developing countries includes three types of joint activities: field studies of workplace potentials for better safety and health, intensive action training for improvement of working conditions in small enterprises, and action-oriented workshops on low-cost improvements for managers, workers, and farmers. These activities were aimed at identifying workable strategies for making locally adjusted improvements in occupational health and ergonomics. Many improvements have resulted as direct outcomes. Most these improvements were multifaceted, low-cost, and practicable using local skills. Three common features of these interactive processes seem important in facilitating realistic improvements: 1) voluntary approaches building on local achievements; 2) the use of practical methods for identifying multiple improvements; and 3) participatory steps for achieving low-cost results first. The effective use of group work tools is crucial. Stepwise training packages have thus proven useful for promoting local problem-solving interventions based on voluntary initiatives.
对工作场所改善安全与健康潜力的实地研究、针对改善小企业工作条件的强化行动培训，以及面向管理人员、工人和农民的低成本改进措施的行动导向型研讨会。这些活动旨在确定在职业健康和人机工程学方面进行因地制宜改进的可行策略。许多改进已成为直接成果。其中大多数改进措施是多方面的、低成本的，并且可以利用当地技能实施。这些互动过程的三个共同特征似乎对推动切实可行的改进很重要：1）基于当地成就的自愿方法；2）使用实用方法确定多种改进措施；3）首先采取参与性步骤以实现低成本成果。有效使用团队工作工具至关重要。因此，逐步培训包已被证明有助于推动基于自愿倡议的当地问题解决干预措施。
