Abstract
The purpose of this study is to reveal the activities in Safety Management of Occupational Health Nurses (OHNrs) who should contribute to worker's health and safety and to consider the roles of OHNrs in Safety Management. The OHNrs' activities in Safety Management were shown by reviewing the reports of Journal of Occupational Health and of Japanese Nursing Association, and the roles of OHNrs in Safety Management were discussed by reviewing the papers of American Association of OHNrs Journal and of The Japanese Journal for Public Health Nurse. The followings were found : 1. OHNrs were not usually involved in Safety Management. 2. It is necessary for OHNrs to work upon various unsafe behavior factors, i.e. psychological factors, physiological factors, evironmental factors, working factors, management factors and education factors. 3. "Behavior Based Safety" is an important approach in Safety Management for the future activities of OHNrs.
