- The study aimed to adapt and validate the Occupational Health Literacy Scale (OHLS) specifically for the Italian workforce, ensuring it fits within the cultural context of Italy.
- The validation process involved translating the original OHLS into Italian, having experts evaluate it, and then testing it with a sample of 398 workers to confirm its effectiveness.
- Results showed that the Italian OHLS has excellent psychometric properties, indicating it is a reliable tool for measuring occupational health literacy, which can help enhance health awareness and interventions in Italian-speaking communities.
Occupational accidents, despite continuous safety updates, are still a scourge in the occupational and forensic spheres, constituting, among other things, the subject of a large share of litigation. Demographic data can help to understand the areas where the application of health surveillance is lacking. This meta-analysis sets out to analyse data from studies on accidents at work, focusing on the correlation between the areas in which accidents occur and whether or not personal safety equipment is used, in relation to the different regulations in force.
