gWork-related health risks: Research and company practice
Report of the working group on work-related health risks
In the period 2000-2001, the group conducted a survey of 15 national OSH-research institutes on the subject of prevention of work-related health risks. The survey focused on problems and deficits in the field of in-company prevention as well as methods and approaches with which to solve those problems. The findings show that the situation in the various countries differs significantly.
The report is published in English - ISSA Prevention Series N°2049 (E), French - ISSA Prevention Series N°2049 (F) and German - ISSA Prevention Series N°2049 (G) ; August 2004, 78 pages
It  is also available as PDF document in English (933 Ko), French (1,09Mo) and German (910 Ko).

gResearch concepts in the field of occupational health and safety. Proposals for the planning and implementation of research and the valorisation of results

Report of the working group on research policies
Research policies vary considerably in occupational risk prevention. On this basis, a working group has been set up to take stock of the different approaches to research and to develop recommendations seen to optimise the effectiveness of research on risk prevention.
This brochure gives an account of the International workshop held on this subject, including a summary of the debates centered on three main themes: research programming; planning execution and follow-up of research; promotion and assessment of research results.
Heidelberg, 1993, 120 pages.

Full texts, in their original language, of the 80 oral contributions and posters which illustrated the four themes of the Symposium
  risk analysis and appropriate prevention strategies ;
  measuring atmospheric pollution at the workplace and biological monitoring ;

Data base
So as to facilitate contacts between researchers and prevention practitioners, the Section constantly compiles information from organisations actively engaged in occupational risk prevention research. The information collected is fed into a bilingual, English-French data base INOR which will soon be accessible via the INRS Website. The data base intends to be a "Who's who" in the field of prevention (description of organisations and their activities - address, legal status, contact persons, number of staff, aims, publications, etc).
