- The MEP did not specify the time period over which the 44% increase is measured, nor the baseline year used for comparison.
- The claim does not define which 'work-related deaths' are included: CNAM/Assurance Maladie data covers only private-sector employees for recognised workplace accidents; broader definitions including occupational illnesses, commuting accidents, and work-related suicides would yield different figures.
- The specific 44% figure could not be found in any source — two independent sources or one primary source confirming the claim could not be found.
- The France24 article (2026-04-01) was published after the session date of 2026-05-18 but contains 2024 data — the MEP could not have known of this specific article, though the underlying data may have been available earlier.
