\nover 15 years conducted testing services, repairs and
\ninstallations in the signal transmission towers of the
\ncompany. In 2002, a tumor was found in the worker’s right
\nthigh, which was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma, a rare type of
\nbone cancer. He underwent several surgeries, but ended retired
\ndue to disability, age 37. Three other co-workers developed
\nthe same type of cancer and died aged 28, 39 and 45 years.
\nThe technical filed a lawsuit against the company at the 15th
\nCuritiba Court claiming that their health problems could have
\nbeen caused by direct contact with the electromagnetic waves
\nradiated by phone towers.
\nIn the opinion of the judge of first instance was not in the
\nrecord sufficient evidence to establish a causal link between
\nthe type of work and the disease, since cancer can have
\nmultiple causes, such as diet and medications, among other\u00a0factors.<\/span>
\nThe worker appealed, arguing that the International Agency for
\nResearch on Cancer (IARC), linked to the World Health
\nOrganization classifies exposure to electromagnetic fields as
\npossibly carcinogenic to humans.
\nIn their analysis, the judges gave the Seventh Class reason
\nthe employee, noting that an expert report presented
\ninformation from the medical literature linking
\nelectromagnetic radiation with cellular and genetic phenomena
\nthat promote cancer. They also understood that the company was
\nwrong to omit as the prevention and monitoring of risks, in
\naddition to not have done exposure control of radiation worker.
\n“Considering the fact or evidence together, it considers that
\nthe work activities developed by the author contributed to the
\ndevelopment of their disease (concausa), leaving configured
\nconcausalidade link. Resta set the guilt of the defendant,
\ngiven that not arranged for the work to be developed without
\nrisk to the health of your employee “it said judgment which
\nordered the company to pay a lifetime monthly pension plus
\npunitive damages.
