Abstract

The existence of occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) is now well established. Since 1989, several regulations have been progressively introduced, allowing compensation for some cases of occupational COPD. Following a brief review of the main occupational causes of COPD, the authors describe the present context for compensation in France and the procedures to be followed to ensure that patient's interests are supported.

Keywords: BPCO; COPD; Compensation; Occupation; Profession; Réparation.
