The impact of occupational safety and health (OSH) training is a neglected topic in safety research. In Norway, such training is mandatory for all business leaders. Hence, the Norwegian working life forms a particularly interesting case for studying the impact of OSH training. On the basis of data from labour inspections performed by the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority (NLIA), this article examines the impact of business leaders' mandatory OSH training on the establishment of robust OSH systems. Three separate studies have been conducted. In study 1, cross-sectional data from inspections of 29,224 companies are analysed. In study 2 and 3, longitudinal data from inspections of 1119 and 189 companies, respectively, are analysed. The analyses reveal that mandatory OSH training of business leaders is positively associated with compliance with legal requirements related to the minimum content of OSH systems. This means that mandatory OSH training is important for the establishment of robust occupational safety and health management systems.
职业安全健康培训的影响是安全研究中被忽视的一个课题。在挪威，所有企业领导都必须接受这种培训。因此，挪威的工作生活为研究职业安全健康培训的影响提供了一个特别有趣的案例。基于挪威劳动监察局（NLIA）进行的劳动监察数据，本文探讨了企业领导强制性职业安全健康培训对建立健全职业安全健康体系的影响。进行了三项独立的研究。在研究 1 中，分析了对 29224 家公司进行的检查的横截面数据。在研究 2 和 3 中，分别分析了对 1119 家和 189 家公司进行的检查的纵向数据。分析表明，对企业领导进行强制性职业安全健康培训与遵守与职业安全健康体系最低内容有关的法律要求呈正相关。这意味着强制性职业安全健康培训对于建立健全的职业安全健康管理体系非常重要。
