| Summary: | "It is sometimes hard to convince employers of the economic return on actions designed to make corporate working conditions healthier. And yet, occupational diseases have a cost: first of all a human and social cost for the victims and their relations, but also a financial cost for enterprises or even for society as a whole. It is possible to make an economic assessment of what companies devote to occupational diseases in Europe by studying the expenses of the relevant national insurance organisations. Such is the purpose of the present report, which also deals with the question of funding for occupational diseases insurance." |
