What Présanse does

Présanse is the national representative federation for Services de Prévention et de Santé au Travail Interentreprises (SPSTI) in France, organized as a non-profit association under French law of 1901. It coordinates a network of approximately 240 SPSTI members operating across all French departments, employing 18,000 occupational health professionals (physicians, nurses, ergonomists, toxicologists, psychologists) who collectively serve around 1.5 million private-sector employers and over 15 million workers. The federation functions as the official interlocutor with public authorities, particularly the Direction Générale du Travail (Ministry of Labor), on occupational health policy and regulatory implementation.

The organization's product and content portfolio is built around a professional resources platform and member portal. Core products include the Annuaire des SPSTI (national directory of occupational health services searchable by department and competence area), a centralized Resource Center (Centre de ressources) containing medico-technical, legal, and organizational materials, the Thésaurus Harmonisés (annually updated harmonized medical terminology distributed to software vendors for interoperability), and the Fiches Médico-Professionnelles (FMP) platform providing occupation-specific risk assessment guidance. Additional offerings include monthly Informations Mensuelles publications, a Bulletin Santé-Travail targeting public decision-makers, the Espace Adhérent member portal, and convening of annual events such as Rencontres Santé-Travail and Journée Médecins-Relais. Specialized professional commissions (Quality & Certification, Information Systems, Toxicology, Ergonomics) and the ASMT (Action Scientifique en Milieu de Travail) working groups produce harmonized practice outputs. The underlying technology is described as a professional resources platform with content-library differentiators rather than a software product; no API is offered.

Présanse's business model is membership-based: SPSTI pay dues to the federation, which in turn provides representation, standardized resources, professional development, scientific collaboration, and advocacy. Présanse itself does not sell products or services directly to employers or workers; SPSTI services to those end customers are funded through mandatory employer contributions under French labor law. The headquarters operation is lean — approximately 17 employees at the Paris office (10 rue de la Rosière, 75015 Paris) — reflecting the federation's coordinating role rather than direct service delivery. Leadership consists of a Director General (Martial Brun) overseeing a Board of Directors and General Assembly governance structure. The organization maintains strategic institutional partnerships with ANACT, OPPBTP, INRS, ANSM, HAS, DGT, SFMT, and EHESP.
