[Introduction to the work of the Congress].
A research was performed to evaluate the burden of publications on Occupational Health in health care settings in the last 20 years. National and international literature shows a relevant interest, in particular for biological, biomechanical and psychosocial risks. In the three sections of this Congress these topics will be discussed in the light of the latest scientific advancements in the field and of recent laws. Moreover, the results of multicenter studies performed on these topics will be presented by three working groups.
