[Atypical jobs: current facts, health surveillance and monitoring].
Based on the analysis of data collected during scientific studies and on the knowledge gained from the investigations on flexible or new forms of jobs it can be observed that the increasing amount of industrial accidents reporting and the existence of bad frame of mind are to be charged to the lack of training, to the uncertainty related to these type of jobs, to the short duration of the employment timeframe, to the difficulty of being in line with the company security standards, to risky activities, to immigrants who hardly get socially integrated, to workers with a low level of education and to their limited work experience. Since lots of studies have demonstrated that workers are fully unsatisfied when they recognize the uncertainty of their job situation it is mandatory to intervene on the real implementation of training, health control, emergency management and monitoring, thus avoiding any kind of marginalization. Given the complexity of these new forms of jobs, it will be up to the supervising institutions to look for new and adequate models and tools to monitor and control all the different situations, always keeping in mind all the relevant rules and laws.
