Description

the industrial injuries advisory council is proposing to commission a comprehensive review and evaluation of the literature including epidemiology on work related malignant and non malignant respiratory diseases primarily focussing on lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to inform update or potentially expand the industrial injuries scheme

Some of the current prescriptions for respiratory conditions have been reevaluated more than once since their inception many decades ago However these prescriptions do not always reflect occupations and modern working practices of today where exposure may occur more frequently than in the past

industrial injuries advisory council invites suitably qualified and with relevant experience interested participants to explore the feasibility of undertaking a systematic review of the literature on work related malignant and non malignant respiratory diseases and current prescriptions

It is envisaged that any research undertaken will be used to determine if the current prescribed diseases qualifying for industrial injuries disablement benefit relating to respiratory conditions are fit for purpose and inform recommendations to amend the regulations if necessary
