| Resumen |
Occupational health service (OHS) for small-scale enterprises (SSEs) is still limited in many countries. Both Japan and the Netherlands have universal OHS systems for all employees. The objective of this survey was to examine the activities of occupational physicians (OPs) in the two countries for SSEs and to investigate their proposals for the improvement of service. Questionnaires on types and sizes of the industries they serve, allocation of service hours (current and desired), sources of information for occupational health activities etc. were mailed in 2006 to 461 and 335 Japanese and Dutch OPs, respectively, who served in small- and medium-scale enterprises. Responses were obtained from 107 Japanese (23%) and 106 Dutch physicians (32%). Findings are discussed. Both groups unanimously considered that employers are the key persons for the improvement of OHS especially in SSEs and their education is important for better OHS. |
