text: **Research on risks, exposures and outcomes including future developments**
  
  This type of data and research deals with the**description and analysis of risks and exposures and**
  **health outcomes**(there are basically three outcomes: 1) work accidents, 2) diseases, and 3) wellbeing 
  / job satisfaction / overall perception of health at work), and their interlinkage. Risk identification and 
  exposure assessment relates to several types of risks and exposures: mechanical, physical, chemical 
  or biological risks, including those risks caused by the circumstances at workplaces (e.g. those technical 
  basics listed in the Directive on minimum safety and health requirements for the workplace470), and risks 
  caused by the work organisation, including aspects like work intensity and time pressure, poor 
  communication and misunderstanding, harassment and discrimination and work with clients and 
  customers. All these topics are subjects of a wider field of different sciences, ranging from engineering 
  and natural sciences to psychology and sociology to several medical disciplines. 471 
  
  Similar methodological considerations were also essential for EU-OSHA to initiate a**worker survey on**
  **workplace exposures to carcinogens and occupational cancer**(2020 to 2024). 472 Reliable and 
  publicly available exposure data are rare for many typical daily work situations. It is for this reason that 
  EU-OSHA has chosen an approach that relies on an expert system, that is, it connects the description 
  of workplaces and work tasks to exposure estimates of probable occurrence of and exposure to certain 
  carcinogenic substances.
