[Reflexions on the aspects characterizing the new INAIL tables regarding occupational diseases].

Abstract

The AA examine the new Tables for occupational diseases in industry and agriculture, which have recently approved with the Presidential Decree n.336, april 13, 1994. The main innovations are analysed, like the elimination of some too generic terms, which had often allowed contrasting interpretations and a non univocal jurisprudence. Other innovative aspects regard the new acquisitions of occupational medicine and strengthen, in the new formulation, the principles of the presumption of law in establishing a relation of cause and effect.
