Introduction: This paper describes the available exposure information for carcinogens in
Great Britain and discusses some of the issues involved in using such data to inform an …

A sound knowledge base is required to target resources to reduce workplace exposure to
carcinogens. This project aimed to provide an objective estimate of the burden of cancer in …

To estimate the current occupational cancer burden due to past exposures in Britain,
estimates of the number of exposed workers at different levels are required, as well as risk …

Objectives: Work-related cancers are largely preventable. The overall aim of this project is to
estimate the current burden of cancer in Great Britain attributable to occupational factors …

Although only a relatively small proportion of cancer is attributable to occupational exposure
to carcinogenic agents, the estimated number of deaths due to occupational cancer is high …

Exposure to occupational carcinogens is often overlooked as a contributor to the burden of
cancer. To estimate the proportion of cancer cases attributable to occupational exposure in …

Background: Prioritising control measures for occupationally related cancers should be
evidence based. We estimated the current burden of cancer in Britain attributable to past …

Despite controversies about the accuracy of quantitative estimates there seems to be a
broad consensus that occupational cancer 'tends to be concentrated among relatively small …

Background and objectives Although past studies of workplace exposures have contributed
greatly to our understanding of carcinogens, significant knowledge gaps still exist with …

Objective: This paper reviews previous attempts to estimate the proportion of cancers
caused by occupational factors in Australia and overseas and calculates an estimate of the …
