Impact of initial OSH training among the under-30s

In the period of transition from school to work, under-25s are more vulnerable to occupational accident risks due to them being both young and new to their jobs. In view of this overly high accident rate, prevention for this population has been focused on teaching occupational safety and health (OSH). In France, OSH teaching has been the subject of a partnership between the French Ministry of Education and the French National Health Insurance Fund for Salaried Workers (CNAM-TS) since 1993. INRS takes part in defining the OSH skills in consultative occupational committees of the Ministry of National Education. However, so far, the impact of such teaching on the occurrence of occupational accidents has not been assessed.

An international study on the best practices for OSH policy evaluation.

The effectiveness of prevention measures is an increasingly important issue for all prevention organisations. Therefore, INRS has decided to look into this subject with its foreign counterparts (IRSST-Québec, NIOSH-USA, DGUV-Germany, AUVA-Austria) within the International Social Security Association (ISSA) Research Committee which it chairs.

Occupational exposure limit values for chemicals

What is an occupational exposure limit value? What do the American threshold limit values correspond to? What is a biological limit value? The answers to these questions can be found in a glossary available in three languages (German, English and French) created by a working group of the ISSA Chemistry Section in which INRS takes part. With roughly sixty definitions, this glossary can shed light on limit values and how they apply.
