Abstract The EVREST (French acronym for occupational health evolution and relations) observatory) was designed by occupational physicians and researchers for the purpose of enabling a global evaluation of workers' occupational health problems in the course of their daily consulting practice. This longitudinal system is based on a short questionnaire, filled in in the presence of the worker during routine occupational health check-ups. The full advantages of the questionnaire, both at individual and group levels, result from the integration of the physicians' clinical approach. This article discusses the specific aspects and limitations of the EVREST system.
