在市场上，企业管理者面临着对其决策的最终考验，主要的——也许是唯一的——考虑因素是花钱能得到什么。除非买方和卖方有衡量价值的方法，否则不可能进行交易，或者即使进行销售，也可能无法完全令双方满意。职业健康计划的财政效益很难表达，这一定是其接受的障碍。尽管雇主确信，如果没有医疗服务，他们的开支将会增加，但他们不知道净节省额可能是多少。此外，他们无法量化项目质量改变的影响。因此，人们对植物健康服务表现出不同程度的热情。一些卫生服务得到了慷慨的支持；其他人则处于边缘水平。无论如何，医疗专业人员及其雇主都可能无法确定这些安排对于他们的情况是否适当有效；但是，梅瑟可以说出最实际的操作条件是什么。
N the market place, where business managers face the final test of their decisions, the principal–perhaps only–consideration is what one gets for his money. Unless the purchaser and vendor have a way of measuring values, no transaction is likely, or if a sale is made, it may not fully satisfy both parties. The fiscal merit of occupational health programs has been difficult to express, and this must be an obstacle to their acceptance. While employers are convinced that, without a health service their expenses would increase, they have no idea what the net savings may be. Moreover, they cannot quantify the effect of alterations in their programs' quality. As a consequence, one sees varying degrees of enthusiasm for plant health services. Some health services are supported unstintingly; others operate on a marginal level. In any event, it is likely that neither the health professional nor his employer are ever certain that the arrangements are properly effective for their situation; but then, meither can say what should be the most practical operating conditions.
