This report is the second in a series of European Risk Observatory reports dedicated to emerging risks, focusing specifically on biological occupational safety and health (OSH) risks. The forecasts contained in this report are based on an expert survey and a literature review and are used alongside other Risk Observatory work in order to examine OSH trends in Europe and anticipate emerging risks and their likely consequences for safety and health at work.

The risks identified in this forecast have been thematically grouped into four categories. These are:

• substance-specific biological risks;

• biological risks intrinsic to specific workplaces or work processes;

• biological risks resulting from risk management and prevention practices; and

• occupational biological risks linked to social and environmental phenomena.

Contents:

• Introduction

• Methodology

• Expert Participation

• Main Emerging Biological Risks Identified

• Complete Results of the Survey

• Conclusion
