233.5. The committee on occupational oncological diseases shall study the record submitted by the Commission and examine the worker within 40 days after the Commission’s request.

The committee may render its opinion on the basis of the record if it considers that examining the worker is not necessary and the worker agrees or if the worker has died.

The committee shall make a report in writing to the Commission on its diagnosis within 20 days after, as the case may be, studying the record or examining the worker and, where its diagnosis is positive, it shall include its findings relating to the worker’s functional limitations, percentage of physical impairment, and tolerance for a contaminant within the meaning of the Act respecting occupational health and safety (chapter S-2.1) or any other risk factor that caused his disease or that is likely to expose him to a recurrence, relapse or aggravation.

In its report, the committee shall also give its opinion on the link between the occupational disease and the characteristics or risks peculiar to the work carried on by the worker. To that end, it shall document the worker’s exposure in carrying on his work to a contaminant within the meaning of the Act respecting occupational health and safety or to any other risk factor.

Before filing its report, the committee shall consult the opinions and recommendations of the Comité scientifique sur les maladies professionnelles.
