Nearly Half of EU Workers Face Cancer Risk Factors
A new survey by EU-OSHA reveals that nearly half of EU workers are likely exposed to cancer risk factors in their workplaces. This highlights the urgent need for stronger preventive measures and improved occupational safety and health standards across the EU. The survey identifies various hazardous substances and working conditions that contribute to cancer risks, including exposure to asbestos, silica, and diesel exhaust fumes. The findings underscore the importance of implementing the EU's Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2021-2027 to protect workers' health and well-being.
