Hi all,
Some time ago my boss got these figures for occupational ill-health caused by chemicals:
One million skin diseases
One million bladder diseases
One thousand bladder cancers p.a.
30% of all respiratory diseases
50,000 asbestos deaths (2000 p.a.)
Up to 10% of all cancers are industrially related (up to 11000 p.a.)
Could be up to 20000 deaths p.a. from occupational ill health
Does anyone have an up-to-date version of this list, or similar? If so what is the source?
I'd be very grateful for any data of this kind.
Thanks
Diane

I suggest you refer to the Statistics section of the HSE Website.
When I was trying to get similar figures in 1999 the most useful references I found were-
"Occupational Health - Registrar Generals Decennial Supplement" published by HSE in 1995
and
"Self-reported work related illnesses in 1995" published by the HSE in 1996
Presumably more up to date versions of these are now available.
