Published: July 2013

The medical record form included in Spanish Royal Decree 396/2006 (Annex 5), regulating health protection for workers exposed to asbestos, is an important source of information on the health effects of asbestos exposure.

The poor completeness of recorded data hinders accurate knowledge of the impact and effects of asbestos on Spanish workers' health.
