To meet diversified health needs in workplaces, especially in developed countries, occupational safety and health (OSH) activities should be extended. The objective of this study is to develop a new multi-dimensional action checklist that can support employers and workers in understanding a wide range of OSH activities and to promote participation in OSH in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The general structure of and specific items in the new action checklist were discussed in a focus group meeting with OSH specialists based upon the results of a literature review and our previous interviews with company employers and workers. To assure practicality and validity, several sessions were held to elicit the opinions of company members and, as a result, modifications were made. The new multi-dimensional action checklist was finally formulated consisting of 6 core areas, 9 technical areas, and 61 essential items. Each item was linked to a suitable section in the information guidebook that we developed concomitantly with the action checklist. Combined usage of the action checklist with the information guidebook would provide easily comprehended information and practical support. Intervention studies using this newly developed action checklist will clarify the effectiveness of the new approach to OSH in SMEs.
为满足工作场所多样化的健康需求，特别是在发达国家，职业安全与健康（OSH）活动应予以扩展。本研究的目的是制定一份新的多维度行动清单，以支持雇主和工人了解广泛的职业安全与健康活动，并促进中小企业参与职业安全与健康工作。基于文献综述结果以及我们之前对公司雇主和工人的访谈，在与职业安全与健康专家举行的焦点小组会议上讨论了新行动清单的总体结构和具体项目。为确保实用性和有效性，召开了几次会议以征求公司成员的意见，结果进行了修改。最终制定了新的多维度行动清单，它由6个核心领域、9个技术领域和61个基本项目组成。每个项目都与我们在制定行动清单的同时编写的信息指南中的相应部分相关联。行动清单与信息指南的结合使用将提供易于理解的信息和实际支持。使用这份新制定的行动清单进行的干预研究将阐明这种中小企业职业安全与健康新方法的有效性。
