Health promotion in the workplace, NSW, 1991

The aim of this study was to provide the NSW Health Department with baseline information on the extent to which employers in NSW formally support or organise health-promoting policies or activities for their employees. (Formal policies or activities were defined as those which are supported by management.) Telephone interviews to NSW organisations were used to determine the presence of an occupational health and saftey officer in the organisation, health and saftey improvement policies held by the organisation, and health-promoting services provided by the organisation. The geographical location of the organisation and proportion of white-collar and blue-collar workers employed by the organisation were also recorded.
