Shift jobs such as flight attendants are at risk for breast cancer. The insulation and textileindustries expose people to mesothelioma cancer due to the presence of asbestos. Workers in themetalworking, transportation, construction and fuel industries, as well as painters and hairdressers,are at risk for bladder cancer.Conclusion: Various studies have shown that the most common occupational cancers include lungcancer, non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer, mesothelioma and bladder cancer. The level ofexposure of personnel working in these industries to carcinogens is significant, so reducing theexposure of people to these carcinogens seems important and necessary.
