text: • High work intensity is a major cause for low wellbeing and high psychosocial risks. Survey data 
  suggest that**work intensification stopped after 2005**. What might be the reasons? Are the 
  current indicators not specific enough to measure developments of work intensity? Has since 
  then the major burden of intensification been put on other types of workers, for example, 
  subcontracted or self-employed, temporary and seasonal workers, or on workers in the global 
  supply chain? 
  
  • How much evidence is there that**dangerous work has been increasingly contracted out to**
  **small and medium-size enterprises and the self-employed**? Are there sufficiently detailed 
  data on whether a larger share of service and client-related work at atypical times or work 
  requiring long working hours has been taken over by self-employed or subcontractors? 
  
  • The**influence of enterprise size**is often difficult to explain. In several aspects, the SMEs 
  perform better, and in other important aspects worse. What might be the reason for this? 
  •**How is it possible to overcome the ‘prevention gap’ that in general exists between mobile**
  **and stationary workplaces?**Can the solutions be technical or must there be organisational 
  and legal measures, for example, a limitation of the prolonged use of ergonomically inadequate 
  equipment like mobile phones? 
  Impact of**international and global supply chains on OSH: Does it improve or worsen the**
  **working conditions in the EU?**Research could try to estimate the risk-reducing impact of the 
  shift of some high-risk productions to enterprises outside the EU, for example, mining, base 
  chemicals, recycling and so on (export of risks), and to estimate the OSH impact of EU export 
  production, for example, vehicles, specialty chemicals, machines for risks at work inside the EU 
  (import of risks). 
  It would also be a big step forward if research could achieve an agreed**standard value or a**
  **standard range**(as reliable as possible) for the**attributable fraction of work**to widespread 
  diseases, that is, cardiovascular diseases, mental and behavioural disorders, musculoskeletal 
  diseases and cancer.
