Abstract
El presente trabajo aborda el tratamiento que la regulación legal y reglamentaria de las contingencias profesionales desde un enfoque de género. Para ello se revisa la literatura y estudios existentes, que ponen de manifiesto la escasa sensibilidad del legislador a los problemas de salud laboral que afectan específicamente a las mujeres, salvo que se vinculen expresamente a los aspectos reproductivo y de crianza. Los datos existentes demuestran que la mayor incidencia de las enfermedades profesionales en mujeres, asociada a la feminización de determinados sectores, se produce a pesar de que los catálogos de aquellas a menudo se olvidan de problemas de incidencia específicamente femenina. Sobre esta base, se realiza un estudio de los convenios colectivos de determinados sectores (escogidos por emplear mayoritariamente bien a hombres bien a mujeres) y se demuestra que no sólo existe una ausencia casi total de enfoque específicamente dirigido a atacar las diferencias de género, sino que precisamente se protegen específicamente los accidentes de trabajo con más incidencia en los trabajadores varones
In this paper, I examine, on a gender-based approach, the regulation of workrelated temporary incapacities (professional contingencies). After revisiting the academic literature of the subject, it clearly shows a lack of sensitivity towards women’s specific problems, other than those related to pregnancy or maternity. I present data that demonstrates a higher rate of incidence from occupational diseases on female workers’ (and the opposite, on males from work-related accidents). This evidence is explained by the specific risks of the activities in which each gender has higher presence. The collective bargaining agreements that have been analysed –chosen among those activities mostly occupied by male or female workers– shows not only the shame lack of gender sensitivity, but a higher level of protection for workrelated accidents than for diseases. This could enclose, probably as an undesired result, an indirect discrimination
