Abstract |
A questionnaire survey of 242 occupational health professionals in Japan showed that 81% had attempted to persuade higher management to implement a workplace health promotion programme. The most effective methods of persuasion were considered to be advice to the health and safety committee and recommendations from occupational physicians. Data used to persuade management included statistics on medical examinations, reports on worksite inspections and health care plans. |
