Process of revision of the lists of occupational diseases in six European countries

EUROGIP publishes a note on the processes of revision of national lists of occupational diseases. The document covers six European countries : Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

As part of its knowledge and reports already published on occupational diseases in Europe, EUROGIP was asked by the “Conseil d’orientation des conditions de travail (COCT – Working Conditions Orientation Council) and the Occupational Hazards Directorate of the CNAM to work on the subject.

What the six countries have in common with France is that they have an “in-house” list. This is the result of a long history of occupational risk insurance. And they periodically review this list. In addition, there is available and/or public information on this technical subject for these countries.

TTIP and possible impacts for occupational injury insurance

Since the negotiations began in 2013, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has aroused numerous discussions.

For some, it represents a hope of extraordinary economic growth. For others, it means the dismantling of public services. Now, in negotiations that are confidential it is very hard to measure what impact the agreement will have on social matters and in particular on occupational injury and disease insurance. There is no doubt that it will have impacts on occupational safety and health (OSH) standardization and certification. This is the conclusion that EUROGIP stands in this note.

Reporting of occupational diseases: issues and good practices in five European countries

EUROGIP publishes a report entitled “Reporting of occupational diseases: issues and good practices in five European countries”. These countries – Germany, Denmark, Spain, France and Italy – were chosen because they are representative of diverse but mature insurance models and four of them (except Germany) show an interest in the issue of under-reporting of occupational diseases.

The study is organized around these issues:

an overview on reporting occupational diseases procedures
comparative statistics (2011) concerning main reported and recognized occupational diseases (MSDs, hypoacusia, dermatosis, cancers)
a focus on under-reporting of occupational diseases with an assessment each country makes of the shortcomings of its system and the solutions experimented successfully to correct them.
