Research staff from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) has developed the technical guide 'Oncoguía: Occupational Bladder Cancer', published by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (INSST). The aim is to facilitate the prevention and early diagnosis of this pathology associated with workplace risks.

The guide, a multidisciplinary tool, addresses the assessment of exposure to carcinogenic substances in the workplace, the implementation of substitution or control measures, and the establishment of specific health surveillance protocols. It also offers coordination guidelines between health and prevention professionals to assess occupational contingency, determine work capacity, and promote worker reintegration.
Participation in this initiative is part of the objectives of the Spanish Strategy for Occupational Safety and Health 2023-2027, strengthening protection against exposure to carcinogenic agents. The UMH thus consolidates its commitment to the transfer of scientific knowledge for public health and occupational risk prevention.
The complete document is available free of charge through the official publications catalog of the INSST.
