Question 32666 — work accidents and occupational diseases

Summary

Ms. Catherine Kamowski questions the Minister of Labor, Employment and Integration on the recognition of kidney cancer as an occupational disease following exposure to the chemical agent trichlorethylene. It seems that the correlation between exposure to this chemical agent and the development of this disease has been proven. The Bordeaux social security court rendered two judgments on November 13, 2018 which recognize exposure without precautions to this product as the cause of kidney cancer. In addition, it appears that the specialized commission relating to occupational pathologies of the working conditions guidance council (COCT) agreed on the creation of a table of occupational diseases entitled "cancerous conditions caused by trichlorethylene" where "primary kidney cancer" appears on the first line. But, at the following modifications requested by the Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises and employee delegations in July 2017, this process seems to have stopped. The absence of a decision in this area penalizes the victims of this disease who have been waiting, sometimes for many years, for this recognition as an occupational disease. She therefore wishes to know her position on this issue and the planned date for recognition. kidney cancer as an occupational disease.
