"This document describes the structures and practices of occupational health services (OHS) in 17 European countries, with particular regard to aspects that have a bearing on service quality. The survey describes the features, regulatory background and OHS practices, and demonstrates the heterogeneity and complexity of the policies and practices of OHS in Europe. The presentation of OHS in Europe is of considerable scope, and can therefore be useful to all those involved in the planning and administration of OHS at national or international levels."
