There is a research gap regarding the way managers and employee representatives respond to Labour Authority interventions targeting work-related psychosocial and ergonomic risk factors. The present study aimed to determine if (I) labour inspections and (II) guidance-through-workshops led by inspectors were perceived by the target audience as equally useful and educational; and to determine if utility and enhanced knowledge were associated with the implementation of measures to prevent work-related risk factors. Finally, it aimed to determine if the managers in the intervention groups to a greater extent than the controls reported implementing such measures.
Managers and employee representatives in both intervention groups reported a high level of perceived utility as well as a high level of enhanced knowledge. Both utility (p < 0.05) and enhanced knowledge (p < 0.05) were significantly associated with the implementation of, or plans to soon implement, measures to improve working conditions. When compared to controls, implemented measures, or plans to implement measures, were reported significantly more frequently by managers in the inspection group (p < 0.05).

对于管理者和员工代表应对针对与工作相关的心理社会和人体工效学风险因素的劳动监察干预的方式，目前尚存在研究空白。本研究旨在确定（I）劳动监察和（II）由监察员主导的以工作为导向的研讨会，是否被目标人群视为同样有用和具有教育意义；并确定效用和知识增强是否与预防与工作相关的风险因素的措施的实施相关。最后，它旨在确定干预组的管理者是否比对照组更有可能报告实施这些措施。
两个干预组的管理者和员工代表都报告了高度的感知效用以及高度的知识增强。效用（p<0.05）和增强的知识（p<0.05）均与实施或计划尽快实施改善工作条件的措施显著相关。与对照组相比，监管组的管理者报告实施的措施或计划实施的措施明显更多（p<0.05）。
