Comparative analysis in ten European countries of the case studies submitted to the members of the European Forum of the insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases.
The occupational injury insurance system conceived in 1898 and carried over by the Social Security system in 1946 was for a long time favourable to the victims, because it made it possible to obtain reparation without having to demonstrate the employer’s fault. But over time, the fixed-price nature of the compensation allocated came to be seen by some as unfair in relation to other schemes presumed to provide full compensation for damage. What damages should be allowed for? How should they be assessed? In what conditions should compensation be provided? What immunity for the employer or his representative? The purpose of the meeting organised by Eurogip and the French national health insurance fund for employees (CNAMTS) in Paris on 9 September 2003 was to shed light on the debate taking place in France through concrete information from other European countries.

Presented in the form of data sheets, the Eurogip memo paints a picture of the approach chosen by six countries that already have a certain experience of prevention of occupational deintegration: Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and the Canadian province of Quebec.The issue of prevention of occupational deintegration – and, upstream, retention in employment – is especially important since, as a consequence of longer working lives, keeping employees at work and in good health will become a priority. The need to take action in this area is emphasised in a survey carried out by Crédoc in 2007. The results of this survey show that three years after an injury, only half of the people concerned had found a job again, whereas 85% of them had a job beforehand.

EUROGIP publishes the results of a new study on the possibility of recognising the work-related nature of cancers and on the number of cases recognised by occupational health and safety insurance organizations based on national data from twelve European countries.Eurogip publishes the results of a new study on the possibility of recognising the work-related nature of cancers and on the number of cases recognised by occupational health and safety insurance organizations based on national data from twelve European countries.
Following a classification of occupational exposures and of the exposed population, the report (52 pages) reviews cancers that could be recognised as work-related under the national lists of occupational diseases, but also under the off-list system. The largest part of the report is devoted to the 2000-2008 national statistics, through an overview and detailed national data. Lastly, the question of post-occupational monitoring of exposed workers is examined.

One world, countless different worlds of work: the programme of the XX World Congress for Safety and Health at Work 2014 will present all visitors with practical strategies for their prevention tasks.
Six Technical Sessions form the heart of the programme. In addition, 30 symposia address topical issues relating to safety and health at work. A particular highlight is the Forum for Prevention, which in this form is a first for the World Congress.
These programme items are supported by opening and closing events, keynote speeches, and a German Evening (limited number of participants). The Congress programme also includes a range of industry visits, cultural events, the International Media Festival for Prevention (IMFP), an accompanying trade fair, and further side events.
