Abstract:
The constant evolution of working conditions requires occupational health and exposure indicators in order to highlight problems at the collective level with the aim of carrying out research to explore and find equally collective solutions. The monitoring system Evrest is an observatory via questionnaire. Using a prevention lens, its aim is the dynamic study of different aspects of the work and health of wage earners, based on quantitative indicators developed from data gathered during the occupational health medical examinations. After its use for several years in a large industrial corporation and a test phase in the Nord-Pas de Calais region by voluntary occupational health teams, this monitoring system is being expanded and applied to other French regions.

Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies.
