Regarding the important role of occupational health in the continuous improvement of organizations, the aim of this study was to identify, select and prioritize key indicators for improvement of occupational health in an automotive company. This cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in three stages. First, a semi-structured interview as well as an inspection and a review of the company's documentation and studies were carried out, and a set of key indicators were identified and selected. Then, the validity of the indicators were determined by experts (N = 11). Following that, the indicators were prioritized based on SMART criteria. Following the study framework, we collected a set of indicators that included 45 health indicators and 17 educational ones. The results of examining their content validity showed that among the 45 primary health indicators and 17 educational ones, 12 and 9 indicators had acceptable validity, respectively, and a total of 21 indicators were suggested for the purpose of the study by the expert team. The results of prioritizing showed that the leading indicator such as the percentage of corrective and preventive health actions done with the weight of 0.146 was the first priority. A set of key indicators was proposed according to the results, based on the objective of the study, which can help managers and industrial hygiene experts to assess performance in the automotive industry.
鉴于职业健康在组织持续改进中的重要作用，本研究旨在识别、选择并优先确定一家汽车公司职业健康改善的关键指标。这项横断面描述性研究分三个阶段进行。首先，进行了半结构化访谈以及对公司文件和研究的检查与审查，识别并选择了一组关键指标。然后，由专家（N = 11）确定指标的有效性。随后，根据SMART标准对指标进行优先排序。按照研究框架，我们收集了一组指标，其中包括45个健康指标和17个教育指标。对其内容效度的检验结果表明，在45个主要健康指标和17个教育指标中，分别有12个和9个指标具有可接受的效度，专家团队共建议21个指标用于本研究目的。优先排序结果显示，权重为0.146的已采取的纠正和预防性健康行动百分比等领先指标是首要优先事项。根据研究结果，基于研究目标提出了一组关键指标，这有助于管理人员和工业卫生专家评估汽车行业的绩效。
