About INRS France

The National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) for the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases serves the 2.2 million companies and 18.4 million employees dependent on the general social security scheme. From the acquisition of knowledge to its dissemination, the Institute uses its multidisciplinary resources to preserve health and safety at work, deploy a prevention culture in companies, and propose adapted responses to the diversity of occupational risks. Its action is organized around four complementary modes of action: studies and research, assistance, training, and information-communication. Created in 1947 under the auspices of the Cnam, the INRS is a 1901 law association, administered by a joint council (employers and employees) and has 580 employees located on two sites, in Paris and Lorraine.
