3. Identification of priorities in OSH in Italy, 2000-2001

4. Which are the new tendencies about research priorities in OSH field ?

5. Aims of the new ISPESL’s study (2007-2008) To assess new tendencies starting from the priority research areas already identified by ISPESL in 2000 To extend the concept of priority to the sphere of transfer knowledge To detect new emerging topics

6. Questionnaire ISPESL surveyed a sample of 442 subjects, selected from various OSH sectors sending them a questionnaire, in which we asked To rank the old 27 topics by importance, as regards research and transfer knowledge To list up 5 other topics they considered merited more research and more efforts for transfer knowledge Whether in the last five years the respondents had participated in and/or conducted OSH studies for which they had received financing

7. 27 Topics Mean scores and ranking for each of the Research priorities Transfer knowledge priorities Statistical analysis for the total sampleby region by the type of OSH research done by the role played in the OSH sector Application of non-parametric test to compare the difference between the mean scores for the experts in the different groups
