Survey use of occupational health support.

An estimated 2 million people suffer from ill health caused by work (Jones et al, 1998). Due to economic changes more people are employed in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), where there is often no workplace access to occupational health support.

Despite campaigns such as Good Health is Good Business (Wright et al, 2000), many employers remain unaware of long term risks to health in the workplace, and the need to take a practical proactive approach to prevention.
