<p class="MsoNormal">Around 2.9 million workers die every year due to occupational accidents and diseases and at least 402 million people suffer from non-fatal occupational injuries1 . Examining 41 pairs of specific risk factors and health outcomes, the WHO/ILO
Joint Estimates indicate that work-related diseases were responsible for 81 per cent of all work-related deaths, with deaths due to occupational injuries accounting for the remaining 19 per cent of work-related deaths2. The occupational risk factor with the
largest number of attributable deaths was exposure to long working hours (resulting in 745,000 related deaths), followed by exposure to particulate matter, gases and fumes – resulting in 450,000 deaths.3 Not only do occupational injuries and illness cause
immeasurable human suffering to victims and their families, they also entail major economic losses for enterprises and economies as a whole – which may be measured in terms of health care costs, compensation costs, production losses, reduced work capacity
and lower workforce participation. Occupational accidents and diseases are estimated to contribute to 5.4 per cent of annual global gross domestic product (GDP) lost.
