In Finland occupational health services are stipulated by the law. The services are primarily directed at preventive measures and the achievement of a better working environment. The coverage of occupational health services is about 90%. Occupational health nurses are public health nurses in Finland. Moreover, they have the opportunity to have 4 weeks’ complementary schooling and postgraduate education from universities or nursing colleges. There are about 1,900 occupational health nurses in Finland. On the one hand occupational health nurses work independently; on the other hand, they work as a member of a team. Their work consists of environmental surveys and health education (based on working conditions and health habits), including first aid training, health examination, counseling, and treatment in case of illness.

This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument for nursing triage in occupational health services (ICEST). Exploratory factor-analysis techniques were used to remove redundant or non-endorsed items and identify the factor structure of the ICEST. Validation of the items, content, construct and reliability were also performed. The final ICEST consisted of 14 indicators and 71-graduated indexes. The ICEST showed to be reliable, consistent and satisfactory structure to be applied in occupational health services. keywords: validation studies; occupational health; nursing
