对有关小企业预防性职业健康和安全活动的科学文献进行了审查，以确定有效的预防方法，并制定未来的研究战略。在过去几年中，对小企业的研究数量显著增加，但研究界分散在许多不同的学科和机构。无论是在效果还是实际适用性方面，都缺乏对干预研究的评价。然而，有充分有力的证据表明，小企业的雇员比大企业的雇员面临更高的风险，而且小企业难以控制风险。最有效的预防办法似乎是通过个人接触传播的简单和低成本的解决办法。重要的是要制定未来的干预研究战略，研究完整的干预系统：从中介机构通过传播方法，从而导致小企业的预防活动。
The scientific literature regarding preventive occupational health and safety activities in small enterprises has been reviewed in order to identify effective preventive approaches and to develop a future research strategy. During the last couple of years, there has been a significant increase in the number of studies of small enterprises, but the research community is scattered between many different disciplines and institutions. There is a lack of evaluation of intervention studies, both in terms of effect and practical applicability. However, there is sufficiently strong evidence to conclude that employees of small enterprises are subject to higher risks than the employees of larger ones, and that small enterprises have difficulties in controlling risk. The most effective preventive approaches seem to be simple and low cost solutions, disseminated through personal contact. It is important to develop future intervention research strategies which study the complete intervention system: from the intermediaries through dissemination methods to the resulting preventive activities of the small enterprises.
