Enum: ILOCausativeAgentEnum
The causative-agent axis of the ILO List of Occupational Diseases (revised 2010): section 1 (diseases caused by chemical, physical and biological agents arising from work activities) and section 3 (occupational cancer, itself titled "Cancer caused by the following agents"). Items point to their subsection, and subsections to their section, via is_a; assign the most specific applicable item.
Orthogonal to ILODiseaseCategoryEnum — a disease commonly takes an item from both, and this slot is multivalued because more than one agent item can apply.
