French ruling spotlights breast cancer as an occupational disease
French ruling spotlights breast cancer as an occupational disease. In a first for France’s aviation industry, a court in Bayonne has recognised it. The landmark ruling came in July this year after Sophie Lainault, a former flight attendant, took her case to court. The 59-year-old had accumulated 12,600 flight hours, 6,500 of them at night, between 1989 and 2019 for Air France. A French court recognizes breast cancer as an occupational disease for flight attendants, highlighting risks from night shifts and radiation.
Why it matters. Why it matters: French ruling spotlights breast cancer as an occupational disease.
