the heart of health and safety

Occupational cancer and IOSH’s No Time to Lose campaign Dr Karen McDonnell, CFIOSH, Chartered FCIPD IOSHPresident Elect, Head of RoSPA Scotland

Recent research - Dr Lesley Rushton: ‘The burden of occupational cancer in Great Britain’ - First study of its kind confirming the connection between what people do for a living, and the cancers they develop - Takes into account lifestyle choices such as smoking - Occupational attributable cancer deaths and registrations = 5 per cent of all UK cancer deaths and registrations

The findings - 8,000 work-related cancer deaths a year - Almost 14,000 new cancer registrations each year are down to occupational exposure - Just under half of deaths put down to occupational cancer are in the construction industry
