The Danish Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet) has just published the 15th edition of the guide describing in detail the conditions for recognition of a number of occupational diseases. It comes into force on 1 January 2021 for diseases declared as of 1 January 2005.
The guide provides general information on the treatment of cases, advice on understanding the requirements relating to the link between a disease and a specific exposure, and a number of examples of decisions taken. If a disease is not described in this guide but is described in a previous edition, it can in principle be used. Not all the diseases on the list of occupational diseases are covered by this guide, which is divided into the following chapters:
- General conditions concerning diseases not on the list
- Hearing problems
- Back and hip diseases
- Knee diseases
- Vibration-related illnesses – hand-arm
- Other musculoskeletal disorders
- Lung diseases
- Psychic illnesses
- Cancers
- Skin diseases
- Other diseases on the list
