摘要

Some occupational cancers appear decades after exposure. Diseases are therefore often detected during the retirement period. This disconnect raises the question of how to best protect the occupational health of retirees who are no longer in the workplace and are unlikely to have routine health monitoring by occupational physicians, even though they carry an increased risk of cancer resulting from past occupational exposure. Some countries and jurisdictions are already working to address these challenges. Since 1995, France has had a post-professional monitoring system, which has been the subject of the Rispop29 research since 2021. The results of this research serve as a basis for investigating the possibility of such a system in Ontario, where a register of workers exposed to asbestos already exists and could serve as a basis for ongoing monitoring in the retirement years. The results suggest that such an initiative would be of interest from an epidemiological and medical point of view, and that it would go beyond the single case of asbestos exposure.
