Even though the World Health Organization has repeatedly advocated research on occupational health services to increase knowledge of its priorities and efficiency, no empirical study on work in such services is registered in major data bases. A common classification system for work in occupational health services is not available, but would facilitate comparison between studies. This report presents a feasible, reliable, and relevant classification for this purpose. Central among the policy-relevant questions on occupational health services is whether or not they work in accordance with their aims. Therefore, the project started from the aims of such services (in Norway and in the convention proposed by the International Labour Office in 1985) to obtain congruence between the instrument's eight categories of work and the aims of occupational health services. The classification was constructed in cooperation with occupational physicians and proved to be easy to use.
尽管世界卫生组织多次倡导开展职业健康服务研究,以增进对其重点工作和效率的了解,但主要数据库中并未登记有关此类服务工作的实证研究。目前尚无职业健康服务工作的通用分类系统,不过这将有助于不同研究之间的比较。本报告为此提出了一个可行、可靠且相关的分类方法。职业健康服务中与政策相关的核心问题是其工作是否符合目标。因此,该项目从此类服务的目标(挪威以及国际劳工组织1985年提议的公约中的目标)出发,以使该工具的八类工作与职业健康服务的目标达成一致。该分类是与职业医师合作构建的,且事实证明易于使用。
