The aim of this study is to analyze occupational cancer claims compensated in the industrial sector in Italy between 1994 and 2006.
A descriptive analysis of compensated occupational cancers based on the Italian Workers' Compensation Authority (INAIL) data was performed. Summary statistics were compiled by sex and age of worker, cancer type, workplace agent and economic sector. The temporal trend in the period 1994-2006 was investigated for the most frequently compensated cancers (mesothelioma and lung cancer from asbestos; nasal cavities cancer from wood and leather dust).
Between 1994 and 2006, 6,243 cancer claims were compensated by INAIL due to occupational exposure in the industrial sector. Most (5,288, or 85%) of these compensated claims occurred in the period 2000-2006, when the annual mean of the most compensated cancers increased approximately four times compared to the period 1994-1999.
There is an increasing trend in compensation for work-related cancers in Italy in recent years, even if occupational cancers are still widely underreported.
本研究旨在分析 1994 年至 2006 年间意大利工业部门赔偿的职业性癌症索赔。
根据意大利工人赔偿局(INAIL)的数据,对赔偿的职业性癌症进行描述性分析。按工人性别和年龄、癌症类型、工作场所接触物和经济部门对汇总统计数据进行了编制。对 1994-2006 年期间最常赔偿的癌症(石棉所致间皮瘤和肺癌;木材和皮革粉尘所致鼻腔癌)进行了研究。
1994 年至 2006 年间,INAIL 因工业部门职业接触赔偿了 6243 例癌症索赔。这些赔偿索赔中,大多数(5288 例,占 85%)发生在 2000-2006 年期间,与 1994-1999 年期间相比,最受赔偿的癌症的年平均值增加了约四倍。
近年来,意大利与工作相关的癌症赔偿呈上升趋势,尽管职业性癌症的报告仍严重不足。
