The Transport and General Workers' Union (UK) has an active programme devoted to monitoring the health of its 1.8 million members. Files on members who died of bladder cancer after exposure to beta-naphthylamine go back to the late 1920's. From the same period came data on members suffering from asbestosis which included same cases of lung cancer before the industrial cause of the disease was recognized. These and other more recent examples including Nonox S and vinyl chloride amply justify the need for setting up registers of all workers who are at risk from industrial exposure. The scientfic community has a responsibility for communicating data regarding hazards both to employers and employees who can then ensure that all who have been exposed can be notified and screened. The trade unions have a part to play in ensuring that industry accepts conditions of greater control under the new regulations in the United Kingdom. There must be a continuing tripartite discussion between industrial management, trade unions and the responsible governement official.
运输和普通工人联盟（英国）有一项积极的计划，致力于监测其180万成员的健康状况。关于接触β-萘胺后死于膀胱癌的成员档案可追溯到20世纪20年代末。同一时期还有关于患石棉沉着病成员的数据，其中包括在该疾病的工业病因被确认之前的一些肺癌病例。这些以及其他包括诺诺克斯S和氯乙烯在内的近期例子充分证明有必要建立所有面临工业接触风险工人的登记册。科学界有责任向雇主和雇员传达有关危害的数据，这样雇主和雇员就能确保所有接触过的人都能得到通知和筛查。工会在确保工业界接受英国新法规规定的更严格控制条件方面可以发挥作用。工业管理层、工会和负责的政府官员之间必须持续进行三方讨论。
