This is the first part of an epidemiological vigilance study concerning chemical-related accidents. I get the impression this person is the study coordinator but I can't seem to find the right translation for this particular term.

The source text is written in Spanish from Spain.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Andy

Secretariat address

Direccion means address. You could also put secretary's address as, from your context, it appears to be an individual
Note from asker:
You could be onto something -- I was thinking more along the lines of "dirección" in the management sense. Doh.
Peer comment(s):
agree neilmac : You're probably right, though we'd really need to ask the client to be 100% sure since it can also be "Exec" or similar :)

Thanks.
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : I think you're rigiht. Otherwise, the expression would almost be a pleonasm.

Office of the Secretariat

This is how I usually translated the term as a bilingual executive secretary, but different departments of Hospital Clinic vary the wording. If the Spanish didn't include "Dirección" I would say just "Directorate". I offer a few examples below that give duties the office carries to help in deciding if this is a correct translation. Web reference for first sentence below is: www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?navid=OES.
Example sentence:

A properly established and well managed Office of the Executive Secretariat (OES) is a valuable resource within a Department, not just for the Secretary and immediate staff, but for the whole Department.

See list of duties in website for comparison to your text.
