In recent years, it has been become increasingly popular to carry out estimation of the burden of disease with the aim of identifying major risk factors contributing to important morbidity burdens as an aid to prioritizing risk reduction strategies. The area of occupational disease and in particular occupationally related cancer is no exception. As outlined in an earlier Editorial [1], the British occupational burden of cancer project provided one of the most detailed evaluations of the relationship between >40 workplace carcinogens and >20 cancer sites highlighting industries of particular concern and demonstrating the usefulness of different burden measures such as proportion affected and numbers of new cancers versus deaths [2].
