Souffrance au travail, cancers professionnels, troubles musculo-squelettiques… En France, la prévention des risques professionnels va mal.Il existe pourtant des professionnels – les médecins du travail – chargés par la loi de prévenir toute altération de la santé des individus du fait de leur travail. Quelle part ces praticiens ont-ils dans cette faillite de la prévention ? Les salariés peuvent-ils leur faire confiance ?Le statut particulier des médecins du travail les enferme dans de sévères contradictions. S'ils ont le droit, et même le devoir, de rester indépendants, ils sont tenus, en tant que salariés, à une forme de subordination vis-à-vis des employeurs.De l'avis d'aptitude à la reconnaissance de la maladie professionnelle et à la prise en compte de la dangerosité des conditions de travail, l'auteur montre, au terme d'une enquête de cinq ans, comment les médecins du travail tentent d'exercer leur métier et ouvre quelques pistes pour améliorer l'indépendance de cette institution.Un éclairage sur les faiblesses d'un système qui expose des millions de travailleurs à des risques graves mais évitables, et quelques pistes pour améliorer l'indépendance de la médecine du travail.

The third edition of Pathology of Asbestos-Associated Diseases builds on the success of the previous editions by fully updating knowledge on diagnostic and epidemiologic aspects and presenting important new insights derived from new epidemiologic studies and animal studies. Background information is first provided on the mineralogy of asbestos, occupational and environmental exposure, and asbestos bodies. The various diseases associated with asbestos exposure are then considered in turn, with detailed description and illustration of pathologic features as well as extensive discussion of etiology, epidemiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Further chapters are devoted to cytopathology, experimental models of disease, and analysis of tissue mineral fiber content. In addition, the medicolegal issues relating to asbestos-associated diseases are analyzed from the point of view of both the plaintiff and the defendant. This book will be an essential reference for pathologists and an invaluable source of information for pulmonologists, radiologists, and occupational medical practitioners.
