Alert and sentinel systems detect new or emerging work-related diseases
EU-OSHA : OSH News 26/10/2017
"Alert and sentinel systems allow the detection of new or emerging work-related diseases and are useful to complement the official figures of occupational diseases. They can help target workplace interventions and prevention.
A recently published report by EU-OSHA provides good practice examples and highlights the importance of better integrating workplace exposure assessment, improving the coverage of specific worker’s groups and diseases, and reaching the right actors to achieve the maximum benefit from these systems."

"The review identifies weaknesses, such as the often missing collection of workplace exposure assessment data, the poor coverage of some worker’s groups and diseases like mental ill health; and the weak link to workplace prevention. It also gives good practice examples and highlights the importance of international cooperation and dissemination of data to achieve the maximum benefit from alert and sentinel approaches."
