Research demonstrates that occupational cancer remains a “real concern”, according to Dr Lesley Rushton of Imperial College.
Dr Lesley’s comments came as IOSH launched its No Time to Lose campaign at the House of Commons. It aims to raise understanding and help businesses take preventative action.
“Our research has shown that occupational cancer is a real concern,” said Dr Lesley.
“It is very encouraging, at the beginning of the launch of the IOSH campaign, to find that so many companies have already signed up to the pledge and that there are others beginning to add to their names. And I hope that this will continue.”
Richard Jones, head of policy and public affairs at IOSH, also welcomed the overwhelmingly positive response to the campaign.
“I’m really encouraged by how many people we have got involved in this. I think the subject has grabbed people’s attention and we’ve reached out to our IOSH community worldwide and have got supportive statements from about 10 different countries worldwide already.”
No Time to Lose was “just the start” and Mr Jones remained confident that “we can go a lot further”.
Occupational cancer is responsible for the loss of 666,000 lives a year worldwide. Get involved in the campaign, find out more and download free resources at: www.notimetolose.org.uk
