The aim of this study was to determine whether any of the health, environmental and safety (HES) factors registered by visiting small mechanical enterprises in Norway at the start of the study could predict the risk of occupational injuries in subsequent years. Twelve HES factors, including injury awareness, programme for action, employee participation, training and use of personal safety devices, were registered. A questionnaire was completed by interviewing the employer and observing production. Two variables based on observation of the use of safety equipment were significantly correlated with occupational injuries. There is potential for prevention in smaller enterprises by increasing the use of personal protection devices and safety equipment on machines. Frequent inspection with feedback to the workers is probably the most effective means of attaining the desired result of reducing injuries.
本研究的目的是确定在研究开始时对挪威小型机械企业进行走访所记录的任何健康、环境与安全（HES）因素是否能够预测后续年份的职业伤害风险。记录了12个HES因素，包括伤害意识、行动方案、员工参与、培训以及个人安全设备的使用情况。通过与雇主面谈和观察生产过程来完成一份调查问卷。基于对安全设备使用情况的观察得出的两个变量与职业伤害显著相关。通过增加个人防护设备和机器上安全设备的使用，小型企业存在预防职业伤害的潜力。对工人进行频繁检查并给予反馈可能是实现减少伤害这一预期结果的最有效手段。
