Evrest - EVolutions et RElations Santé au Travail

What Evrest - EVolutions et RElations Santé au Travail does

Evrest (EVolutions et RElations Santé au Travail) is a French non-profit occupational health observatory and research network, legally constituted as a Groupement d'Intérêt Scientifique (GIS), founded in 2008 and headquartered at CHU Charles Nicolle in Rouen with project team members based at partner institutions across France. Its core product is a standardized, periodic, multi-section questionnaire (covering working conditions, health status, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors) administered by occupational health physicians and nurses during routine periodic health consultations. The questionnaire is delivered through a web-based data entry platform (evrest.voozanoo.net), with a self-administered QR-code variant enabling employees to pre-fill work and lifestyle sections on tablets, smartphones, or desktop computers; automatic PDF record generation for integration into occupational health software dossiers; and an automated PowerPoint report generator that benchmarks enterprise results against national and sectoral references. The supporting product set includes regional, sectoral, occupational, and thematic reports, the Lettre Evrest newsletter (34 issues as of December 2025), and the Evrest Résultats thematic publication series (17 issues). The platform is hosted by the Institut de Santé au Travail du Nord de la France (ISTNF) in Loos; institutional partners include ANACT, DARES, CNAM-CEET, ISTNF, Présanse, and regional PRST programs. Evrest does not sell a product or service: participation by the 800+ occupational health teams and 1,000+ physicians across all French regions is voluntary and free, and funding is institutional (ANACT, ISTNF, regional health bodies) plus occasional project grants such as the Fondation MNH award supporting the TMS caregiver study. Distribution relies on a three-tier network (national project team, regional referents, enterprise referents in large autonomous services such as IEG/Enedis-GRDF), professional newsletters, scientific publications, annual national exchange days at Cnam Paris, regional webinars within PRST frameworks, and an emerging channel of occupational-health-software integrations led by a Padoa pilot launched in late 2023.

Core offering

Evrest is a multi-year occupational health observatory that operates a standardized questionnaire filled by occupational health physicians during periodic health consultations to collect data on employees' working conditions, health status, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors. It generates a national reference database of approximately 160,000 employees, enables enterprise-level occupational health studies, and produces automated reports (PowerPoint, PDF) for benchmarking against national and sector-specific results. The device is provided free of charge to participating physicians and their teams across all French regions.

Product overview

Evrest is a multi-year occupational health observatory operated as a single unified platform. The core product is the Evrest Questionnaire, a standardized data collection instrument administered during occupational health consultations to track employee working conditions and health. The platform is supported by complementary tools including: a web-based data entry system (Site de saisie), an automated PowerPoint generator for enterprise presentations, and a self-administered questionnaire module for employee pre-filling via mobile devices. Output products include periodic publications (Lettre Evrest newsletters, Evrest Résultats thematic publications), and detailed analytical reports (regional, national, sector-specific, and occupational reports). The system operates through a 3-tier network structure: national (GIS Evrest), regional (regional coordinators), and participating occupational health teams.

Regional players

• INSST (Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo): Spain's national institute for occupational safety and health. Operates Spain's occupational health surveillance and prevention research functions in a structure analogous to Evrest, but under the Spanish regulatory framework.
• TNO (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research): Dutch applied research organization with a Work & Health research unit conducting occupational health surveillance and workplace intervention research. Comparable to Evrest in scope but operates within the Dutch regulatory and applied research framework.
• BAuA (Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin): Germany's federal institute for occupational safety and health research. Performs occupational health surveillance and produces national indicators comparable to Evrest, but operates under the German regulatory and consultation framework rather than the French one.
• HSE (Health and Safety Executive): UK national regulator for workplace health and safety. Conducts occupational health surveillance, collects national statistics, and produces sector-specific analyses similar to Evrest, although under the UK regulatory framework.

Broad incumbents

• NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health): US federal agency for occupational safety and health research. Conducts large-scale national occupational health surveillance and produces industry/occupation-specific indicators comparable in function to Evrest, though at much larger geographic scale.
• EU-OSHA (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work): European Union agency coordinating occupational safety and health across member states. Operates at a broader supranational scale with pan-European workplace health surveys and indicators, conceptually comparable to Evrest's national observatory role.
• ANACT (Agence Nationale pour l'Amélioration des Conditions de Travail): French national agency for improving work conditions and a current Evrest partner. Operates at a broader national advisory level on work conditions, ergonomics, and organizational change, with overlapping scope on workplace health and prevention indicators.

Others

• Santé publique France: French national public health agency covering population-level health surveillance including occupational determinants. While broader in scope than Evrest, it shares a public-interest surveillance mission and uses comparable epidemiological methods for occupational health indicators.

Direct peers

• DARES / SUMER (Surveillance Médicale des Expositions aux Risques professionnels): French Ministry of Labour unit running the SUMER national survey on occupational exposures and risks. Performs a comparable surveillance function to Evrest, collecting standardized occupational health data across the French workforce, although via periodic survey waves rather than continuous observation.
• INRS (Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité): France's national institute for occupational health and safety research. Operates as a similarly structured French research body focused on preventing occupational accidents and diseases, directly comparable to Evrest's mission of occupational health surveillance.
