French employees feel overworked, managed by IT systems
More than 1.8 million employees in France (some 10 percent of all workers) are exposed to at least one carcinogenic on the job, according to a recent SUMER 2017 survey. SUMER is the acronym for the French “surveillance médicale des salariés aux risques professionnels”, i.e. the medical monitoring of employees’ exposure to occupational risks.
This was the fourth such survey to map work-related risks. The previous surveys were performed in 1994, 2003 and 2010 and provide comparisons and important information on the evolution of working conditions in France over a period of more than 20 years.
