Presentation

The aim of this DU is to provide theoretical and practical training on the role of work and industrial risks in the management, compensation and prevention of cancers of occupational and environmental origin.

By alternating lectures with practical case studies, we aim to offer training that will enable professionals to :

-Understanding the role of work in the onset of serious illnesses, using cancer as a focus for study
-Developing professional skills to encourage recognition of occupational diseases
-Passing on experience and prevention tools, to act upstream of the diagnosis and help curb occupational exposure.

Target audience:
This DU is aimed at those involved in occupational health, staff representatives, trade union members and staff of mutual insurance companies, associations, lawyers, labour inspectors, staff of social security/protection bodies (CPAM, CRAMIF, MSA), doctors, carers and social workers.

Next session:
La prochaine session de formation se déroulera du 13 au 17 octobre 2025 et du 24 au 28 novembre 2025. Une journée de clôture de la formation sera également prévue en mars 2026.
