computerised Tomography (CT scan)
tests, as well as nuclear medicine
tests, derive directive levels of
information obtained from large scale
quality, which include doses of
surface entry and bunch of radiation

places as garages, brick and lime
burning, wells and mines.
Any work involving the preparation, use
or handling of Cyanic acid or its
compounds or exposure fumes or
vapors Cyanide or its compounds or any
substance containing it. This includes
processes where Cyanide and its
compounds are prepared and used in
insecticides for forest and farm spraying.
In all processes involving preparation or
use of these substances and their
compounds e.g. preparation or use of
chlore in water desalination and
purification stations and in chemical
laboratories, and use of flouride to carve
on glass and in water distillation and
purification laboratories fluoride.
Any work involving the use or handling
of this substances or exposure to its
fumes or fumes containing it e.g. in the
manufacture of paints or varnish or
spraying and painting with substances
dissolved in it.
Also in glasses frame manufacturing
and when these substances are used as
fat solvents in cleaning and dyeing of
clothes.

Bladder and urinary tract cancer.
Poisoning by chlorinated naphthaline.

Poisoning by Diaxon.
Disease symptoms resulting from
exposure to high vibrations.
e.g. working in maintenance and aircraft

marshalling, mining, hammering and
other industrial processes that produce
loud noise.
All processes involving exposure to
cadmium fumes.
Any work involving exposure to fumes or
vapor or dust of Beryllium or one of its
compounds.
Crafts
involving
recurrent
and
continuous use of hand muscles e.g.
clerical works on telegraph apparatus.
Any work requiring standing up for long
and continuous hours.
All processes involving exposure to
nitrous acid and its fumes.
