Breast cancer recognised as an occupational disease in a landmark ruling一项具有里程碑意义的裁决认定乳腺癌为职业病。
It says that a former flight attendant had frequently worked at night and been exposed to passive smoking.
The court highlighted the flight attendant's role of night work, exposure to ionising radiation and passive smoking, since smoking was permitted on the airline’s flights until 2000.
A flight attendant in France has succeeded in having her breast cancer recognised as an occupational disease, a first for the country’s aviation industry, her lawyer and a trade union said.
The ruling – which recognised that Sophie Lainault, a former flight attendant, had frequently worked at night and been exposed to passive smoking – could pave the way for similar claims, the lawyer and the CFDT union said.
Thank you for your report!
法院强调了空乘人员的夜班工作、接触电离辐射和被动吸烟的问题，因为直到 2000 年，航空公司的航班上都允许吸烟。
据她的律师和工会称，法国一名空姐成功地将她的乳腺癌认定为职业病，这在法国航空业尚属首例。
律师和法国民主工会联盟（CFDT）表示，该裁决承认前空乘人员索菲·莱诺经常上夜班，并接触到二手烟，这可能会为类似的索赔铺平道路。
