| Abstract | Physicians can play an important role in the reporting of occupational diseases (ODs), which are still under-reported in many countries. We aimed to identify physicians’ difficulties in recognizing and reporting ODs and to study the characteristics of the physicians that do report ODs.We conducted a telephone study in 2006–2007 among general practitioners (GPs), pulmonologists and rheumatologists in south-eastern France, concerning their knowledge, attitudes and practice in occupational health. Simple and multiple logistic regressions were performed to study factors associated with the issue of medical certificates for the claim process.Three hundred and ninety-one GPs, 95 pulmonologists and 96 rheumatologists participated. GPs reported significantly less often than specialists that they questioned their patients on past occupational exposure. They more frequently reported difficulties in identifying the occupational origin of diseases, and lack of knowledge on the OD reporting system. Issue of medical certificates for OD reporting was significantly more frequent among specialists than among GPs, among physicians considering that ODs are a public health problem, among those acquainted with the forms required to establish certificates, using internet to obtain information, having trade union activities, or having contact with occupational physicians (OPs).Initial and continuing training should be developed to encourage physicians, in particular GPs, to question patients on their working conditions and to become better acquainted with claim procedures. Physicians should also be provided with tools for identification of ODs that are suited to their practices, and collaboration with OPs should be fostered. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
