Keeping in view of rapid industrialization and growing Indian economy, there has been a substantial increase in the workforce in India. Currently there is no organized workplace model for promoting health of industrial workers in India.
To develop and implement a healthy workplace model in three industrial settings of North India.
An operations research was conducted for 12 months in purposively selected three industries of Chandigarh. In phase I, a multi-stakeholder workshop was conducted to finalize the components and tools for the healthy workplace model. NCD risk factors were assessed in 947 employees in these three industries. In phase II, the healthy workplace model was implemented on pilot basis for a period of 12 months in these three industries to finalize the model.
Healthy workplace committee with involvement of representatives of management, labor union and research organization was formed in three industries. Various tools like comprehensive and rapid healthy workplace assessment forms, NCD work-lite format for risk factors surveillance and monitoring and evaluation format were developed. The prevalence of tobacco use, ever alcoholics was found to be 17.8% and 47%, respectively. Around one-third (28%) of employees complained of back pain in the past 12 months. Healthy workplace model with focus on three key components (physical environment, psychosocial work environment, and promoting healthy habits) was developed, implemented on pilot basis, and finalized based on experience in participating industries. A stepwise approach for model with a core, expanded, and optional components were also suggested. An accreditation system is also required for promoting healthy workplace program.
Integrated healthy workplace model is feasible, could be implemented in industrial setting in northern India and needs to be pilot tested in other parts of the country.
鉴于印度快速的工业化进程和不断增长的经济，印度的劳动力大幅增加。目前，印度没有促进产业工人健康的有组织的工作场所模式。
在印度北部的三个工业环境中开发并实施一个健康工作场所模式。
在昌迪加尔有目的地选择的三个行业进行了为期12个月的运筹学研究。在第一阶段，举办了一次多利益相关方研讨会，以确定健康工作场所模式的组成部分和工具。对这三个行业的947名员工进行了非传染性疾病风险因素评估。在第二阶段，在这三个行业中对健康工作场所模式进行了为期12个月的试点实施，以完善该模式。
在这三个行业中成立了由管理层、工会和研究机构代表参与的健康工作场所委员会。开发了各种工具，如全面和快速的健康工作场所评估表、用于风险因素监测和监测与评估的非传染性疾病工作简化格式。发现吸烟率和曾经饮酒者的比例分别为17.8%和47%。在过去12个月中，约三分之一（28%）的员工抱怨背痛。开发了以三个关键组成部分（物理环境、心理社会工作环境和促进健康习惯）为重点的健康工作场所模式，进行了试点实施，并根据参与行业的经验进行了完善。还建议了一种具有核心、扩展和可选组成部分的模式的逐步方法。还需要一个认证系统来推广健康工作场所计划。
综合健康工作场所模式是可行的，可以在印度北部的工业环境中实施，并且需要在该国其他地区进行试点测试。
