Abstract

Our study uses the 2010 Medical Monitoring Survey of Professional Risks (Surveillance médicale des expositions aux risques, SUMER) to assess French employees' exposure to carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic (CMR) chemicals at work. Nearly 2.2 million people, i.e. 10.2 % of employees were exposed to one or more CMR during the week before their medical visit. Among them, 70,000 experienced multiple exposures in the workplace, bringing to 3.5 million the number of exposure situations identified in 2010. Exposure to asbestos represents only 2.3% of the exposures to CMR, or 10 times less than the exposure to diesel exhaust. Our results show that there are jobs and employees profiles that face multiple disadvantages in the labor market, including the high risk of exposure to substances that are hazardous to health. These include workers, employees working at night and with precarious employment contracts, which should therefore be high priority targets for prevention.
