information occupational health prevention vigilance

Preventionists in the Centre-Val de Loire region are publishing the results of a study conducted in 2019/2020 to identify endocrine disruptors (EDs) and nanomaterials in the workplace as part of the 3rd regional occupational health plan (PST3). This inventory is made available to the public to better prevent and track exposure to these emerging risks.

In the sample studied, 55% of the companies use one of the targeted substances (ED, NANO – confirmed or potential) or both. In the link above, you can find information on the presence of these substances in your company.
