PEROSH

 

PEROSH PEROSH is a partnership of 14 European Occupational Safety and Health institutes in 14 Member States. It was created in 2003 to strengthen European research in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH).

 

Main Aims

  • Contribute to healthy, safe, innovative and sustainable workplaces
  • Strengthen and coordinate European research and development efforts in occupational safety and health
  • Improve the quality of research and increase EU-wide dissemination of results

 

Key OSH challenges

PEROSH outlook of the main OSH research challenges and needs:

 

  •    Sustainable employability to prolong working life

  •     Disability prevention and reintegration
  •     Psychosocial well-being in a sustainable working organisation
  •     Multifactorial genesis of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
  •     New technologies as a field of action for OSH
  •     Occupational risks related to engineered nanomaterials (ENM)
  •     Safety culture to prevent occupational accidents

 

Joint research projects

Currently, the researchers from CIOP-PIB are involved in the following PEROSH joint research projects:

 

  1. Dose-Response Relationships (DRR) for selected chemical substances
  2. Prolonging working life
  3. Tonal noise (Dose-response model for annoyance perception of tonal noise)
  4. Waste workers (Occupational exposure to microorganisms as related to new waste sorting instructions and the associated reduced frequency of waste collection)
  5. Well being and work
  6. High-Power Spotlights Risk Assessment (HiPoSisAs)
