Abstract

Regarding the important role of occupational health in the continuous improvement of organizations, the aim of this study was to identify, select and prioritize key indicators for improvement of occupational health in an automotive company. This cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in three stages. First, a semi-structured interview as well as an inspection and a review of the company’s documentation and studies were carried out, and a set of key indicators were identified and selected. Then, the validity of the indicators were determined by experts (N = 11). Following that, the indicators were prioritized based on SMART criteria. Following the study framework, we collected a set of indicators that included 45 health indicators and 17 educational ones. The results of examining their content validity showed that among the 45 primary health indicators and 17 educational ones, 12 and 9 indicators had acceptable validity, respectively, and a total of 21 indicators were suggested for the purpose of the study by the expert team. The results of prioritizing showed that the leading indicator such as the percentage of corrective and preventive health actions done with the weight of 0.146 was the first priority. A set of key indicators was proposed according to the results, based on the objective of the study, which can help managers and industrial hygiene experts to assess performance in the automotive industry.
