Abstract

To prevent professional injuries and diseases, the need of analyzing risks at the work place from the individual as well as from collective point of view, is emphasized by law-makers. The present study shows that, using epidemiology enquiries allows one to analyse the prevalence of professional diseases in a population, without using the "LAA type" lists. One can see that these diseases, though linked to professional activity, go far beyond the limits of the insurance prescribed definitions.
