Abstract This article presents the steps involved in setting-up a literature-based data-mining system for the workplace biological monitoring of chemicals, carried out jointly since 2005 by four occupational health institutions in the French-speaking world, namely INRS (France), IRSST (Quebec), IST (Switzerland) and UCL (Belgium). The various steps of the methodological approach are described. Quantitative results of the six years' of operation of the system are also included.
