POLE HEALTH WORK

What POLE HEALTH WORK does

Pôle Santé Travail (legal entity PÔLE SANTÉ TRAVAIL, SIRET 775 624 059 00645, NAF code 8621Z) is a non-profit associative occupational health service structured as a Service de Prévention et de Santé au Travail Interentreprises (SPSTI), operating exclusively in the Métropole Nord territory of the Hauts-de-France region in France. It is the 2nd largest SPSTI in France and the largest in Hauts-de-France, with a paritarian governance model featuring equal representation from employer organizations (MEDEF, CPME, U2P) and employee unions on its Board of Directors. Leadership comprises Damien Vandorpe as Directeur Général and Jean-Michel Dupuis as Président du Conseil d'Administration.

The organization's service offering is organized around three statutory pillars: primary prevention of occupational risks, individual employee health monitoring (medical visits, follow-up examinations), and prevention of professional desinsertion (job retention). Core functional offerings include DUERP (Document Unique d'Évaluation des Risques Professionnels) risk assessment support, musculoskeletal disorder (TMS) prevention, chemical risk management, psychosocial risk (RPS) handling, addiction prevention, and mental health support including a dedicated program for business leaders. The technology stack centers on digital member portals (Espace Adhérent and Espace Salarié) operated via Padoa, the in-house NOA platform for online DUERP creation and updates, the Ma SanTPrév mobile application, and a shared interoperability database for temporary workers co-developed with Action Santé Travail, préveno, and FASTT.

The business model is mandatory subscription-based: French law requires every employer to subscribe to an approved SPSTI from the date of first hire, with annual cotisations (membership fees) calculated per employee and inclusive of group workshops and training. Distribution is delivered through a network of 21 medical centers across Métropole Nord (including Lille, Armentières, Douai, Roubaix, Tourcoing, Villeneuve d'Ascq, Saint-Omer, and others) and a 4-step direct adhesion onboarding process. The organization employs 630+ collaborators, including 150+ occupational physicians, and added 48 new CDI permanent hires in 2025. Quality credentials include ISO 9001 and SPEC 2217 certifications (2025).
