The improvement of occupational health conditions in Small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) is the most crucial issue in occupational health in Japan today. Improvement will depend on how occupational health services are provided to SMEs. Recently, Occupational Health Service Centers (OHSCs) providing occupational health services for SMEs have become more firmly established and expectations for further improvement in quality and quantity are high. In this way it is hoped that the challenges of providing "occupational health for all" can be met.
中小企业职业健康状况的改善是当今日本职业健康领域最为关键的问题。其改善将取决于如何向中小企业提供职业健康服务。近年来，为中小企业提供职业健康服务的职业健康服务中心（OHSCs）已更加稳固地建立起来，人们对其质量和数量进一步提升的期望也很高。通过这种方式，有望应对“全民职业健康”所面临的挑战。
