title: [Appraisal of occupational stressor in petrochemical industry workers].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the origin of occupational stress among petrochemical industry workers and to access the main occupational stressors that impact job satisfaction and mental health of petrochemical industry workers.
  
  
  METHODS
  A survey on occupational stressor was carried out by Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI) in 532 petrochemical industry workers (345 chemical and 187 logistic workers).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The environment in workplace of chemical group was worse than that of contrast. The chemical workers had less control over job and they experienced more hazards, monotonous as well as role stressors than the logistic group. The scores of job satisfaction and mental health of chemical group (36.867 +/- 0.656, 43.734 +/- 0.542, respectively) were higher than that of contrast (40.321 +/- 0.901, 46.714 +/- 0.745, respectively) (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The occupational stressors exist in chemical workers which affect chemical workers' job satisfaction and mental health with different levels.
