Abstract This study concerns the implementation of occupational health services in small enterprises in Quebec. Its objective is to provide occupational health practitioners with a set of criteria enabling them to better adapt their interventions to the specific conditions of these occupational settings. The study was conducted in the form of a survey of eight small Quebec enterprises. Data was collected through field observations, by questionnaire and during interviews with business owners, managers, workers and occupational health professionals. The study enables the highlighting of the various forms of preventive dynamics in small enterprises.
