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.
