National Institute for Safety and Health at WorkGovernment

The National Institute for Safety and Health at Work (Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo, INSST) is Spain's scientific and technical reference body for occupational safety and health under the Ministry of Labour and Economy Social. Its mandate is to analyze, research, and promote the improvement of working conditions, as well as to collaborate with international bodies such as the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). Established in 1971 under the Spanish Plan for Work Hygiene and Safety, it was later restructured in 1978 and took its current name in 2018 to align with modern European standards.
