Abstract
Effects of Occupational Health Nurses and Staff on the Performance of Occupational Health Physicians in the Workplace
Highlights
Full-time OHPs attended workplace Occupational Health and Safety Committee meetings more frequently, conducted walk-through inspections more often, and performed all services related to the work environment, working practices, and healthcare more frequently than did part-time OHPs (Table 2A)
When we examined only the results for part-time OHPs, more OHP engagement in the workplace was seen when the occupational health nurses (OHNs)/staff helped to process the health check-up data (Table 2C)
Our results suggest that the full-time OHPs provided a higher level of service than the part-time OHPs
