What is OccWatch?

OccWatch, as for "Occupational Diseases Sentinel Clinical Watch System", aims to study unusual work-related diseases that could highlight the emergence of new occupational risks.

The OccWatch restricted-access website allows member experts – physicians, industrial hygienists, toxicologists and others – all working in the field of occupational health to collect and share information on a possible causal link between a disease and a situation of occupational exposure. After discussing a given case within, conclusions are put forward concerning its emergent characteristics. A summary of the knowledge put forward for the case is then published on the platform where it can be accessed by members in each country and shared with their colleagues and/or supervisory bodies if they so wish.
