AIST 21

What AIST 21 does

AIST 21 (Association Interprofessionnelle de Santé au Travail de la Côte-d'Or) is a French non-profit occupational health association declared under the loi du 1er juillet 1901, founded in 1945 and headquartered in Dijon. It delivers mandated occupational health services to member employers across the Côte-d'Or department of France. Its core services combine individual employee health surveillance (medical examinations and fit-for-work assessments delivered by occupational physicians and nurses) with collective workplace risk prevention covering chemical, ergonomic, noise, psychosocial, and road-safety hazards. The service is delivered through a network of 20 medical centers distributed across the department (Arnay-le-Duc, Auxonne, Beaune, Chatillon-sur-Seine, Dijon, Fontaine-Française, Genlis, Is-sur-Tille, Marsannay-la-Côte, Montbard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pontailler-sur-Saône, Pouilly-en-Auxois, Quetigny, Saint-Jean-de-Losne, Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye, Saulieu, Semur-en-Auxois, Seurre, Vitteaux) and supported by a multidisciplinary team of approximately 140 professionals including 40 physicians, occupational health nurses, ergonomists, an industrial toxicologist, an occupational psychologist, engineers, and prevention technicians.

The product portfolio layers on specialized digital tools: the SEIRICH chemical-risk assessment tool (a four-step inventory/analyze/evaluate/act methodology developed by INRS and propagated to members via presentation meetings), the proprietary Calculette Manutentions Manuelles manual-handling calculator, the PADOA-powered member portal for annual declarations and fee management, an employee-facing Espace Salarié portal, and a content library of plaquettes, posters, e-learning modules, and videos. PADOA serves as the primary digital interface; URSSAF supplies hiring declaration data via regulated DPAE feeds.

The business model is a regulated annual membership subscription paid by employers, with fees calculated on workforce size (employee count at December 31) under a regulatorily capped contribution framework (arrêté du 25/09/25). The organization operates as a non-profit association governed by a President (Jean-Yves PALLARD) and Board of Directors typical of French inter-professional SST structures. Commercial motion is sales-led through the medical center network, member portal onboarding, and on-site workplace interventions, with supporting content marketing, monthly newsletters, RIC collective information meetings, training sessions, and presence on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Regional players

• Medigold Health: Medigold Health is one of the UK's largest occupational health providers, delivering statutory health surveillance, sickness absence management, and workplace wellness to employers. It is comparable to AIST 21 in core occupational health service offering, but operates under UK regulatory frameworks and outside France.

Broad incumbents

• International SOS: International SOS is a global provider of workforce health, occupational health, and medical assistance services to multinational employers. It overlaps with AIST 21 in occupational health monitoring and workplace risk services, but operates internationally with a much broader, enterprise-focused portfolio that includes travel risk and remote-site medical services.

Direct peers

• AHI 33: AHI 33 is the inter-company occupational health service for the Gironde/Bordeaux region. It provides employer-funded occupational health monitoring, risk assessment, and prevention services under the same French SSTI regulatory regime as AIST 21, with a comparable regional footprint and service model.
• APST-BTP-RP: APST-BTP-RP is a sector-specific French occupational health service dedicated to the construction (BTP) sector in the Paris region. While specialized by industry rather than geography, it operates under the same mandatory occupational health framework as AIST 21 and serves member employers with comparable health monitoring and risk prevention services.
• CIAMT: CIAMT is a French inter-company occupational health service (SSTI) covering employers in the Paris/Île-de-France region. It operates the same mandatory-membership, fee-based occupational health model as AIST 21, with multidisciplinary teams delivering health monitoring, risk assessment, and prevention to member employers. It is the most comparable direct peer in terms of regulatory structure and service mix.
• Pôle Santé Travail: Pôle Santé Travail is an inter-company occupational health association serving the Pays de la Loire region. It offers the same suite of mandatory health monitoring, workplace risk prevention, and training services to member employers that AIST 21 does, structured as a French SSTI under the same regulatory framework.
• AMETRA: AMETRA is an occupational health service based in the Grenoble/Isère area of France, providing mandatory employer-funded occupational health monitoring, risk assessment, and prevention. It is a regional SSTI with the same legal and operating model as AIST 21 — making it a strong direct peer in terms of scale, services, and target customer.
• Santé au Travail du Nord (ST 59): Santé au Travail du Nord is the occupational health service covering the Nord department in northern France. It operates as an SSTI delivering mandatory employer-funded occupational health services, including medical monitoring, risk prevention, and training — comparable to AIST 21 in regulatory basis and service mix, though serving a different region.
• AST Grand Lyon: AST Grand Lyon is an occupational health service (SSTI) covering the Lyon metropolitan area. Like AIST 21, it operates as an association delivering mandatory health monitoring, workplace risk prevention, and training to member employers across a defined French department, with a network of medical centers and multidisciplinary staff.

Others

• PADOA: PADOA is the French SaaS platform that powers AIST 21's member portal (aist21.padoa.fr) and serves many other French SSTIs. It is an enabling technology partner rather than a competitor, but its presence across the SSTI ecosystem makes it the most relevant platform peer for AIST 21's digital infrastructure and service delivery model.
