Material Profº Heleno - OSHA - EU - The unremarked deaths of 18,000 work cancer victims each year - Burying the evidence

The number of people in the UK diagnosed with cancer is increasing, as is the proportion of UK deaths caused by cancer. Up to 24,000 UK workers may die every year from cancer caused by their jobs. This article of the Hazards Magazine denounces the fact that too many work-related cancers are wrongly attributed to lifestyle issues and calls for an urgent and fully resourced public health response. It includes statistics on work-related cancers, descriptions of cancer monitoring systems and estimation studies, lists of work-related cancers and their causes, etc.
