    Abstract

    A large literature treats the ethical issues surrounding communication of health risks. This literature supports the claim that workers have the right to such information and employers the responsibility to provide it. However, the problems arising in particular cases remain difficult to resolve. A "casuistry" of rights and responsibility is suggested, resting on the premise that health information is a common property of all, rather than the particular possession of those who develop it or those who need it.
