The TUC called in 1995 for companies in the chemicals, rubber and plastics industry to establish a compensation fund for victims of bladder cancer caused by workplace chemical exposures. Chemicals including MbOCA, some dyes and other groups of chemicals used in these industries have been linked to bladder cancer. The TUC also called on employers to contact past employees who might have been exposed, and provide them with information and support. It also said there should be a compulsory registration scheme.
