Completed
Published 3 June 2025 · Commissioned by IIAC Employment & Work

The Industrial Injuries Advisory Council (IIAC) commissioned the Institute of Occupational Medicine to carry out a review of the published literature on selected work-related malignant and non-malignant respiratory diseases.

Government Response

No government response; none expected. This is a scientific evidence review (Phase 3 summary by the Institute of Occupational Medicine/HSE authors) commissioned by the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council, an independent statutory advisory body, to inform whether IIAC should recommend changes to prescribed industrial diseases. It states it does not represent government policy. Government responds to IIAC's eventual recommendations (typically a Command Paper), not to the underlying evidence review.
