Full text linkBarriers to OHS interventions are factors that hinder proper design, implementation and evaluation. An analysis of the barriers is crucial for understanding intervention effectiveness and improving the way in which design, implementation and evaluation of interventions are carried out. However, there is little consensus on how barriers should be understood, how important they are in different contexts, and how they can hinder OHS interventions. This exploratory study based on interviews with 58 safety officers of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) gave an overview of the most frequent barriers to OHS interventions, as well as of the effect of the intervention process phase, of the firm’s size and of the sector. The most frequent barriers underline three main issues: regulation, resources, and information. The barriers are mainly concentrated in the design and implementation phases, and the frequency of barriers grows with the size from micro enterprises to small enterprises, and then it decreases from Small to Medium-large enterprises. The industry sector of companies does not imply meaningful differences among frequencies
Drivers for OSH interventions in small and medium-sized enterprises
Full text linkThe debate concerning occupational safety and health (OSH) interventions has recently focused on the need of improving the evaluation of interventions, and in particular on the need of providing information about why the intervention worked or not, under what circumstances, and in which context. Key concepts in the analysis of the context are the drivers, i.e., those factors enabling, fostering, or facilitating OSH interventions. However, the concept of driver for an OSH intervention is both confused and contested. Although the term is widely used, there is little consensus on how drivers should be understood, how important they are in different contexts, and how they can facilitate interventions. This exploratory study based on interviews with the owner-managers and the safety officers of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) gives an overview of the most characteristic drivers for OSH interventions. The results will be used to make an initial evaluation of SMEs needs, and will help orient interventions and future research
