“…In order to avoid increases in annual dues, businesses tend to under-report accidents. Results-oriented indicators can be divided into two levels of preoccupation [68]: (1) injury prevention, with result categories such as number of incidents, equipment damage, rescue, first aid, temporary reassignment and indirect costs and (2) monitoring of losses, with conventional result categories including number of accidents, number of illnesses, number of workdays lost, direct costs, dues and so on. Both levels concern past and hence unchangeable occurrences.…”

Management of occupational health and safety (OHS) risks is a crucial component of any business. Numerous investigations have shown that work-related injuries and deaths occur disproportionately in small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and that this is clearly due to deficient management of OHS risks. The main goal of this work is to develop a base of indicators suitable for evaluating OHS risk management maturity in industrial SMEs. A preliminary model is then proposed for this evaluation, based on a small number of relevant indicators selected from a careful bibliographic review. The work begins with a critical review of the literature and analysis of known concepts, methods, tools and models of measurement of risk analysis maturity in order to extract relevant indicators. The most suitable indicators are then grouped to form the basis of a preliminary model for evaluating OHS risk management maturity in the SME setting. Our findings will help managers of SMEs make sound decisions in their quest to improve the OHS performance of their businesses.

Preventive behavior consists of observable and measurable actions that a worker can do to protect his own health and safety and those of his colleagues [4].…”

Background. Integrating more accident prevention interventions into different workplace settings as a component of the role of occupational therapists has a significant relevance recognized by the occupational therapy professional community. Even if some studies suggested that occupational therapists already provide prevention interventions, and that other studies showed the efficacy of such interventions, the literature does not offer a comprehensive understanding of the specific practice of occupational therapists engaging in accident prevention in workplace settings. Objective. The aim of the study was to describe the practice of occupational therapists toward the development of preventive workplace behavior among their clients. Method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 occupational therapists. Phenomenological analysis was used to examine the content of the interviews. Results. Results suggest that occupational therapists form representations of preventive behavior that are consistent with theory, but those are limited and do not take into account the complexity of the concept. Results of the interviews found eight different interventions provided by occupational therapists toward the development of their clients' preventive behavior in the workplace. Conclusion.

“…Indeed, when workplaces succeed in considerably reducing the probability of an accident, result indicators are no longer as revealing, reflecting instead a random effect. Moreover, when companies set up incentive measures for injury reduction similar to those for productivity improvement, they run the risk of encouraging people to under-declare events rather than eliminate risks (Roy, Cadieux, & Desmarais, 2005). If the improvement of OHS conditions is to be facilitated, we believe that this measurement must be approached from a different angle that emphasizes company members' learning (Roy, Bergeron, & Fortier, 2004).…”
