Two video clips warn that what you breathe, swallow and touch at work
and where you live can seriously affect your chances of developing cancer
– and this risk has increased dramatically as a consequence of industrialisation

Occupational
cancers section added to HESA website
The scientific consensus is that on average, 8 per cent of cancer
deaths are work-related. For some, like bladder and lung cancer,
the figure is even well above 10per cent. It is safe to say that
cancer is now the main cause of “death by working conditions”
in Europe.
This cancer “epidemic” puts trade unions up against
a big challenge that is locked into general improvements in working
conditions. To help spread information about the risk factors
and the tools – especially legislative – that workers
can use to eliminate or reduce them, our special pages now give
you access to many reference papers on the links between cancer
and work, as well as details of union campaigns run against this
killer disease.

Le site web HESA s'enrichit d'un dossier sur
les cancers professionnels
La communauté scientifique admet qu'en moyenne 8 % des
décès par cancer sont liés au travail. Pour
certains cancers, comme ceux du poumon et de la vessie, la barre
des 10 % est très nettement franchie. Il ne fait plus aucun
doute aujourd'hui que le cancer représente la première
cause de mortalité due au travail en Europe.
Cette "épidémie" de cancers confronte
le mouvement syndical à un défi majeur, étroitement
lié à l'amélioration générale
des conditions de travail. Afin d'encourager la diffusion d'informations
sur les facteurs de risque et les outils, notamment législatifs,
à la disposition des travailleurs pour les éliminer
ou les réduire, un dossier vous donne désormais
accès à de nombreux articles de référence
sur le lien entre cancer et travail. Vous trouverez également
des informations sur les campagnes syndicales menées pour
combattre ce fléau.
