N2  -  Summary. The author describes how a gender approach to health and safety at work allows to address specific issues in order to promote health in a uniform, global and universal way for women and men, and how it could be integrated in current models by evaluating the implications of rules, policies or procedures for both genders. It is urgent to face an extraordinary challenge in gender medicine, including the “occupational gender medicine” development, the bio-psycho-social, technical, methodological and scientific gender mainstreaming of a vast and complex argument as is health and safety at work. The macro, meso and microdimensions of the complex system relating to health and work are discussed on the basis of available studies and systematic reviews. Given the breadth of this subject matter, a preliminary overview is provided that will be developed by more detailed analysis in the future, focusing on the interrelationships between biological and social variables (i.e., sex and gender).
