[Factors affecting workers' compliance to occupational health and safety management system manuals].
OBJECTIVE
To identify the factors that affect the implementation of workers' manuals of occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS).


METHODS
A self-designed questionnaire, which contained 23 items, was used to investigate workers' knowledge, responsibility and supporting environment of the OHSMS. The Logistic Regression Model was developed to identify factors that affect the implementation of the OHSMS.


RESULTS
Demographic characteristics did not affect the implementation of the OHSMS manual. Knowledge (six out of seven items), responsibility and supporting environment had significant impact on the implementation of the OHSMS manuals.


CONCLUSIONS
A variety of factors affect workers' compliance to the OHSMS manuals and need to be better controlled.
