Sommario/riassunto

Provides guidance on procedures and methodology to assess attributability of cancer to occupational exposure to ionizing radiation and to assist decision making regarding compensation of workers occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation below the relevant dose limits who developed cancer. It is intended in particular for the use of competent authorities, employers and workers, and persons in charge of compensation programmes for occupational diseases, in order to assist governments and the social partners to make strategic choices which effectively meld economic efficiency and social protection.
