초록

Objectives: This study analyzes the experiences of private occupational health professionals in implementing government support projects for small-scale workplaces in the occupational health sector. Methods: Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the research combined survey and in-depth interview methods to explore project implementation challenges. The survey revealed that professionals negatively evaluated project implementation processes, despite recognizing potential benefits for occupational health in workplaces. In-depth interviews uncovered that small-scale business owners' limited awareness of chemical hazards and risk management significantly hindered the effectiveness of the project. Results: Key findings highlight systemic issues within occupational safety regulations, including insufficient risk management approaches and punishment-centered law enforcement. While professionals experienced significant challenges, they remained confident in their ability to improve occupational health in workplaces and raise awareness of employers. Conclusions: The study points out the need to enhance small-scale business owners' chemical risk management capabilities and understanding of workplace safety through strategic improvements in the design of government support programs and regulatory frameworks.
