Therefore, We can contribute to disease prevention and health promotion of workers by enhancing quality of worksite health management.

The questionnaires were grouped by the categories and sections. This occupational audit was distributed to the health personnel of 350 workplaces by mail. The self-administered results were returned and analyzed.
RESULTS
We plot the field of occupational health service by basic policy, preventive health service, health care, administration, and other services. We gave the weight A on the primary job, B on the supplementary job, and C on the minor job. This weight was made through the delphi procedures where 30 specialists joined. Basic policy got score of 16.1% preventive health service got 36.5%, health care 20.4%, administration 10.9%, and other services 10.1%. Further weightings on the questionnaire sections were made through the survey on specialists and final weighting on each questionnaire was made by making formula considering weights of each stage. The audit was composed of 96 questions which has dichotomos scales and full score was 1,000. Person-nels from 80 workplaces (23%) replied the audit and the scores of physicians, nurses, and hygienists were 608.6, 587.1 and 535.4, respectively, all a little higher than 500. DISCUSSION: The health performance audit can be used by the sorksite health personnels providing health service. However, this work would not be complete without further comprehe-sion and application in the real settings.
