Main lines of research
Occupational health problems: In addition to work-related illnesses and workplace injuries, we are also interested in studying sickness absence, whether temporary or permanent, especially due to musculoskeletal and mental disorders, and the prognosis (duration) to return to work.
Occupational safety and health policies: The devel- opment of the Labour Risk Prevention Law (1995), through the Labour risk prevention management and the implementation of the Planes de Actuación Prefenrente (Priority Action Plans), developed by most of the Spanish Autonomous Communities in 2000, has managed to provide the development of most resources devoted to occupational health in the country. The CiSAL is contributing to assess the quality of such policies and to evaluate their effec- tiveness.
Occupational health information systems: The tar- gets of the CiSAL are to have better information, of higher quality and organized so that it can be used appropriately. Whom develop projects of methodo- logical character to improve the utility of the Work and Health Conditions Surveys, as well as the cre- ation of a useful employment-exposition matrix for the investigation of new risks and the labour risk prevention management..
Occupational health inequalities: The existence of the highest rates of temporary employment in the European Union, as an indicator of precariousness, and the incorporation of a large number of workers born in countries outside the EU in the last 15 years, are research priorities at CISAL, in order to provide the best information available to help adopt more effec- tive policies to protect the health of these workers.
