The role of intermediaries in delivering an occupational health and safety programme designed for small businesses - A case study of an insurance incentive programme in the agriculture sector

摘要

Intermediaries play an important role in disseminating national Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) programmes to small businesses but not much is known about the factors that influence their role. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the factors that influence intermediaries' contribution to the transformation and dissemination of a national OHS programme for small business that built on an insurance incentive scheme - the New Zealand Workplace Safety Discount scheme.
