A French court has legally recognised cosmic radiation (alongside night work and passive smoking), as contributing occupational factors in the breast cancer diagnosis of a former Air France flight attendant.
For radiation workers under the UK’s legislation, the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17), this ruling may be of interest. Particularly to those in the management of ionising radiation.
Female orthopaedic surgeons are found to have higher instances of breast cancer compared to comparable occupations and radiation workloads. Though, this is currently being researched by UK bodies, and additional PPE options are being marketed.

It’s important to understand the risks; for the employer and the employees.
