They consider that the information concerning occupational exposure to carcinogenic agents in Europe is obsolete and incomplete. In their opinion, it is necessary to update the CAREX database (International Information System on Occupational Exposure to Carcinogens in Europe) for which the latest data dates from 1990. This update should be considered as a priority task with a view to better prevention of work-related cancers in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The report recommends improving:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Application of the legislation;<\/li>\n<li>Awareness raising strategies, especially for SMEs and VSEs;<\/li>\n<li>Access to compensation for victims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/osha.europa.eu\/en\/publications\/reports\/summary-on-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the Report<\/p>\n<p><\/a>To Find out more : Read the Eurogip Report&nbsp;<a href=\"\/images\/publications\/EUROGIP_RecoCancerspro_49E.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Work-related cancers: what recognition in Europe?<\/a>&nbsp;(In English)<a href=\"https:\/\/osha.europa.eu\/en\/publications\/reports\/summary-on-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of International Cancer Day on 4 February 2015, EU-OSHA presented a report on the evaluation of carcinogenic substances used in the workplace, as an essential step for better prevention of work-related cancers.
