title: Using the job-exposure matrix for elaborating job histories.
abstract: A first software (JHS) for the elaboration of job histories oriented toward risks was designed and results published In an article "A software for the elaboration of Job Histories". This article presents a second software (JES), based on the use of a job-exposure matrix designed for one company. The matrix is essentially a database, an organized gathering of information concerning the company. The two softwares are inter-faced and both run on a PC. When properly exploited, the two softwares can serve as an asset for epidemiological studies dealing with occupational health.
