The Occupational Health and Safety Program (OHS) is a method attempting to lower the risk of accidents and occupational diseases. The OHS is aimed at reducing the risks of occupational diseases and accidents in the small and medium-enterprises (SME) sector. This study aims to see the gaps in OHS that only focused on medium-sized industries so that the SME sector does not experience the effects of OHS. In-depth and systematic literature reviews were conducted, and the classification of the disaster type and its object from those sources was performed. The results show that there are gaps in the OHS, which can be seen both from the mitigation and identification methods used, which open up opportunities for further research, especially in the development of new investigative methods, as well as to improve the design of protection systems. The findings of this study will be the latest research based on perspectives in the global scope by looking at the relevant perspectives that have been run and compared systematically to be able to create opportunities for the updating of the risk mitigation process OHS in SME industrial sector.

BACKGROUND: Given the wide variety of factors affecting work-related stress, a work system approach could be adopted in order to better identify factors that impact individual stress. OBJECTIVES: To provide a scoping review of the available work-related stress questionnaires and to reclassify their scales on the basis of the five elements included in the work system model using a content analysis method. METHODS: The main available work-related stress questionnaires used in previous studies in the time range of 1975 to 2017 were collected through a search in several indexing and citation databases. To reclassify the scales of these questionnaires, a qualitative content analysis was used and then reclassified in accordance with the five components of work system model: job (tasks), organizational condition, individual characteristics, technology and tools, and physical environmental. RESULTS: In total, 22 questionnaires met the conditions required to be entered into the final stage of the study. Emphasis of these questionnaires was on measuring job-related factors and organizational condition-related factors. 22.7% of them had considered no scales to measure the individual characteristics-related factors. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the reclassification can help organizations select areas that encompass their own specific problems. Practical implications are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
