Abstract Organization environment has significant influence on occupational health among medical workers. In current study, based on previous established questionnaires, we constructed a new questionnaire to evaluate the effects of organizational environment on occupational injury of medical workers. In a large-scale of investigation, a total of 2350 medical workers from 54 hospitals in Zhuhai city, China, were surveyed by the new questionnaire, and 2111 (91.2%) questionnaires were used for final analysis. The average score of organization environment of medical workers questionnaire was 91.33 ± 21.95. We found that as compared with the average levels, medical workers have higher incidences of behavioral symptoms such as depressed mood, obsessional thinking, and anxiety and so on. We also demonstrated the questionnaire scores correlated with the incidence of occupational disease, occupational injuries and the scores of SCL-90, implying its potential application to objectively measure the conditions of medial safety of medical workers in China. In all, we concluded that organizational environment has important implications on the assessment of occupational health of medical workers.
