The aim of the study was to develop a model of basic occupational health services (BOHS) in Baoan, which could provide occupational health services (OHS) universally for workers and control occupational hazards.
Steps involved in the BOHS strategy included construction of the BOHS system, capacity building, health training and education, surveillance of workplaces and the health of workers, risk assessment, control and evaluation processes.
This model provided BOHS to employees universally, especially migrant workers in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who had been underserved. It expanded the coverage of OHS and improved their content. The knowledge and recognition rate of occupational diseases, the coverage rates of working places and workers rose significantly after three years development. Furthermore, BOHS were cost-effective and accepted by both employers and employees.
Our experience suggests that a BOHS strategy might be a feasible and effective way of protecting the health of workers confronted with occupational hazards.
本研究旨在宝安区建立基本职业健康服务（BOHS）模式，为工人提供普遍的职业健康服务（OHS），并控制职业危害。
BOHS 策略的步骤包括构建 BOHS 系统、能力建设、健康培训和教育、工作场所和工人健康监测、风险评估、控制和评估过程。
该模型为员工提供了普遍的 BOHS，特别是服务不足的中小企业（SMEs）中的农民工。它扩大了 OHS 的覆盖范围，并改进了其内容。经过三年的发展，职业病的知识和认知率、工作场所和工人的覆盖率显著提高。此外，BOHS 具有成本效益，并且受到雇主和员工的欢迎。
我们的经验表明，BOHS 策略可能是保护面临职业危害的工人健康的一种可行且有效的方法。
