| Abstract |
French translation of an English article (abstracted under CIS 92-866) concerning the difficulties encountered in the United States in setting up, at the federal level, an effective registration system for the notification of occupational diseases. Apart from the difficulties associated with the disparate nature of the provisions in force in the different states, the project for the registration of occupation diseases, the SENSOR programme (system of notification of sentinel events in areas of occupational hazards), comes up against the absence of follow-up in the workplace, i.e. the difficulty in establishing a connection between occupational activities and observed pathology. |
