    Abstract Since World War II, a tradition of fighting infectious diseases had proven its worth in stopping chains of contamination and controlling diseases. Contradicting this tradition, the choices made in France regarding the COVID-19 pandemic failed to prevent deaths and protect the most exposed populations. Workers, in particular, are the victims of this failure. Based on the experience of tuberculosis control, this article shows that another strategy is not only possible, but crucial to overcome such epidemic.

    Abstract France now counts nearly 400,000 new cancer cases per year. Yet, even though this epidemic is shaped by strong inequalities, the role of work as a cause of cancer remains underacknowledged, if not ignored. In the GISCOP 84 cohort study on blood cancer patients taken care of at Avignon Central Hospital, each cancer is considered as a "sentinel event" giving access to the patients’ past (and present) occupational exposures to carcinogens, as well as to the obstacles to – and levers of action for – the prevention of occupational cancers and their compensation as occupational diseases. This article presents the GISCOP approach and the type of knowledge it produces. It also analyzes the institutional resistances this action research encounters. Indeed, although the ongoing cancer epidemic is a major public-health crisis requiring a strong response, the prevention of occupational cancers is intricately related to social relations of production – and thus politically sensitive.

    Abstract Complex exposure situations are frequent at the workplace, but few studies have characterized multiple occupational carcinogenic exposures (MOCE) and their gendered differences across jobs' characteristics. We assessed MOCE separately in male and female jobs and identified patterns of MOCE at job level. Participants (834 men and 183 women) were cancer patients recruited between March 2002 and December 2010 in the ongoing SCOP93 cohort study, Seine-Saint-Denis department, France. Job histories were collected through personal interviews, and carcinogenic exposures were assessed by a multidisciplinary expert committee using a list of 53 carcinogens. Proportion of MOCE (i.e. ≥2 carcinogens) was assessed for male and female jobs separately. Principal component analysis combined with hierarchical ascendant classification was used to identify patterns of MOCE. Among the 5202 male jobs and 885 female jobs, respectively 42 and 9% were multi-exposed. Blue-collar workers and jobs in the construction and industry sectors had the highest rates of MOCE, contrasting with jobs held in recent periods (≥1997) and by patients aged ≥45 years at job start. A gradient of MOCE was also observed according to occupational segregation for both men and women. Eight patterns of MOCE were identified among male jobs: widespread carcinogens, mixed silica dust, heavy metals/combustion products, organic compounds/radiation, metal working, solvents/heavy metals, wood dust/formaldehyde/pesticides, and fuel exhausts. Three patterns of MOCE were found among female jobs: biological/organic compounds, industrial working, and fuel exhausts. Some patterns of MOCE were job-specific, whereas other patterns were found across different occupations. These results suggest that patterns of MOCE partly differ between men and women. They stress the importance of gendering multiple exposure assessment studies and point out the inadequacy of occupational disease compensation systems based on a single factor and non-gendered approach of carcinogenesis, ignoring differences between men and women in complex occupational exposure situations.

    Abstract Depuis les années 2000, les ouvrages ou articles concernant la santé au travail se sont multipliés. Des événements médiatisés, relayés par des associations de défense des victimes, ont largement contribué à cette évolution : du drame sans fin des victimes de l'amiante à la catastrophe d'AZF, des suicides au travail dans l'industrie automobile ou les télécommunications aux conséquences de l'accident nucléaire de Fukushima...Par la présentation d'enquêtes et de travaux menés en France ou à l'étranger (Brésil, Japon, Italie, Canada, Suisse ou Belgique), cet ouvrage clôture un vaste projet de recherche intitulé "Approches critiques de la production de connaissances en santé au travail. Comparaisons internationales", qui s'est déroulé dans le cadre du programme Santé environnement, Santé travail de l'Agence nationale de la recherche.Les contributions ici réunies viennent ainsi alimenter et renouveler la critique du modèle dominant de connaissance des atteintes à la santé d'origine professionnelle, fondé sur les institutions chargées de les indemniser.

    Title translation Work and social inequalities in health: the case of professional cancers.
    Abstract Work plays a major role in the production of social inequalities in health in two ways. It determines the place that each one is occupying in the production and in the society, which is influencing the social inequalities as regards living conditions, income, housing, social security and access to the healthcare. In addition, the conditions and the organization of work have direct effects on worker's health according to the types of social division of work and of occupational hazards. The social differentiation of the occupational exposure to carcinogenic substances is under the influence of such a social division of work which plays also a role in the production of the inequalities in cancer. Known since decades, such inequalities are generally considered as related to the individual behaviours. The role of work in the social construction of these inequalities is little questioned, even if epidemiological data exist concerning occupational cancer. These are not visible in public area and little recognised in occupational disease. French and European regulations are taking in account the prevention of occupational cancer, but the effective practices are still poorly developed. This article attempts to show what is the state of the problem in terms of knowledge, compensation and prevention of these cancers which are related to work and for a large part invisible. This invisibility is contributing to the social growth of social inequalities in cancer.

    Abstract This paper presents the history of asbestos mining and manufacture in France, the strategies of the multinational asbestos firms to become major international participants, the failures of occupational health and safety that allowed an epidemic of asbestos-related diseases to occur, and the important social movement of the victims of asbestos exposure. The asbestos industry thrived in France until the health effects of asbestos exposure were made public. At that time, the industry had already moved its mining and manufacture to developing countries, where they were able to take advantage of limited regulation and enforcement of occupational and environmental laws. The author analyzes the compensation systems that were approached with varying degrees of success by the victims of asbestos exposure. France banned all manufacture and use of asbestos in 1997, and in the years that have followed, it has enjoyed many successes in achieving compensation for asbestos victims.

    Abstract According to official estimates, in the year 2000, approximately 32 million European workers (in Europe 15) were exposed to carcinogens. Since 2002, considering the disease as a "sentinel-event" for understanding the work activities that expose workers to carcinogens, the GISCOP93 research group has been carrying out an ongoing survey on patients with cancer in Seine-Saint-Denis (France). Based on the patients’ narratives and on the expertise of exposure hazard specialists, an analysis and classification of the exposed working activities was carried out to build a new database of work activities in the presence of carcinogenic products/processes. The aim of this article is to present this database in relation to some other sources of information on occupational exposure to carcinogens, already available on-line, while showing the contribution of a knowledge-gathering method based on the workers’ experience and statements.
