2 Occupational cancer and IOSH s No Time to Lose campaign Declan Gibney IOSH Vice President

3 Occupational cancer Global estimate 666,000 people die every year from a work-related cancer that s one death every 47 seconds

4 Occupational cancer Ireland estimate - 3,800 deaths from work-related cancer each year - 10,000 new cases of occupational cancer registered each year

5 Occupational cancer UK research (Rushton/HSE) - Dr Lesley Rushton: The burden of occupational cancer in Great Britain - First study of its kind confirming the connection between what people do for a living, and the cancers they develop - Takes into account lifestyle choices such as smoking - Occupational attributable cancer deaths and registrations = 5 per cent of all UK cancer deaths and registrations

6 Occupational cancer UK research (Rushton/HSE) - 8,000 work-related cancer deaths a year - 14,000 new cancer registrations each year are down to occupational exposure - just under half of deaths put down to occupational cancer are in the construction industry

7 Top 10 causes of cancer deaths attributable to occupational carcinogens (Rushton/HSE) Rank Agent/activity Number of deaths/year 1 Asbestos Silica Diesel engine exhaust Mineral oils Shiftwork Painters Tobacco smoke Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin Radon Welders 152

8 Top 10 causes of cancer registrations attributable to occupational carcinogens (Rushton/HSE) Rank Agent/activity Number of Registrations/year 1 Asbestos Shiftwork Mineral oils Solar radiation Silica Diesel engine exhaust Coal tars and pitches Painters Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin Tobacco 284

9 No Time to Lose: campaign on occupational cancer

10 No Time to Lose: campaign on occupational cancer - raise awareness of a significant health issue facing employees - suggest some solutions on how to tackle the problem - offer free practical, original materials to businesses to help them deliver effective prevention programmes

11 The campaign work-related carcinogens focusing on a top five : - Diesel engine exhaust emissions - Solar radiation - Silica - Shiftwork - Asbestos

12 Diesel engine exhaust emissions launched in November 2014

13 Free practical resources diesel engine exhaust emissions pack

14 Solar radiation launched in April 2015

15 New IOSH research on work-related sun exposure in Britain Imperial College London - Skin cancer kills 60 workers a year - 1,500 new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer and 240 new cases of malignant melanoma are linked to solar radiation exposure through work a year - The majority affected are men - Around 40 per cent of malignant melanoma cancer cases involve construction workers

16 New IOSH research on sun exposure in the UK construction sector Nottingham University - Awareness around solar radiation risks is generally poor - 59 per cent of construction workers reported having sunburn at least once in the last year - 40 per cent thought there was no need to wear sunscreen on a cloudy day - Both workers and managers didn't see sun safety as an important issue because of the UK climate

17 Free practical resources solar radiation pack

18 Silica launched in 14 March 2016

19 Cross-industry approach to control dust

20 Free practical resources silica dust pack
