2 Acknowledgement Ngunnawal people on whose land we stand today
3 Summary of presentations know cancer in the workplace Cancer Council Australia ACTU Canberra Dec 2009
4 Prof Lin Fritschi Western Australian Institute for Medical Research What I could do to reduce my cancer risk % mentioning Sun protection 67 Eat well 50 Regular checkups 44 Not smoke 35 Be active/healthy weight 32 Eat more fruit/veges/cereals 27 Limit alcohol 13 Reduce stress 8 Avoid chemicals/pesticides 7 Avoid passive smoking 2 Results from Queensland Cancer Risks Survey, 2004
5 Prof Lin Fritschi Western Australian Institute for Medical Research Estimated 5000 work-related cancers each year 11% of incident cancers in males 2% of incident cancers in females plus about non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) 13% NMSCs in males 4% NMSCs in females
6 Prof Lin Fritschi Western Australian Institute for Medical Research Australian workers potentially exposed to carcinogens 20% of the workforce 1.5 million workers
7 Prof Lin Fritschi. Western Australian Institute for Medical Research Cancer in males Cancer in males number of cases Attributable fraction Predicted Lung 29% 1,530 Prostate 6% 630 Mesothelioma 90% 352 Bladder 14% 304 Colon 6% 265 Leukaemia 18% 264 NHL 13% 252 Melanoma 4% 192 Stomach 10% 131 Pancreas 13% 122

9 Pam Eliason
10 Pam Eliason Lots of toxics Fewer toxics
11 Pam Eliason The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act 1989 Goals 50% reduction in by-product Promote the competitive advantage of Massachusetts Industry Reduce the production and use of toxic chemicals
12 Pam Eliason What Companies Must Do Report annually on amount of toxics used Conduct toxics use reduction planning every two years Pay an annual fee
13 Pam Eliason TUR Techniques Chemical Input Substitution Product Redesign Process Modification Operations and Maintenance Improvements In-Process Recycling
14 Pam Eliason What Do Companies Think? 70% identified TUR options 81% of these implemented TUR 67% saw cost savings 66% saw health and safety benefits Most valuable component of TUR Materials Accounting
15 Pam Eliason use 40% reduction by-products 70% reduction emissions 90% reduction shipped in 60% reduction
16 Pam Eliason Safer Alternatives Exist! There s No Excuse For It Drop-In Substitutes Process Changes Different Materials Emerging Opportunities
17 Companies have saved millions of $$ and maintain competitive advantage reductions have been significant working environment safer
