Global occupational safety and health: Occupational accidents modeling at global level
Occupational accidents and work-related diseases have been of interest for a long time, but still due to lack of proper recording and notification systems, official numbers are missing in many countries. Recent studies show that occupational safety and health is still an extensive challenge globally. Annually 2-2.3 million workers die because of an occupational accident or a work-related disease and more than 960 000 workers a day get hurt at work. The numbers are based on projects funded by ILO and done by the Center for Safety Management and Engineering, Finland. Projects were carried out during years 2001-2006. Previous studies produced rough estimates of occupational accidents and work-related diseases. More accurate estimates are needed. In order to get new estimates specific information from separate countries is required. To get a more accurate model, a greater amount of variables is collected and statistical analyses are done. A new research project funded by the Academy of Finland was started in the beginning of 2007 and will be completed by the end of 2010.The result is a model to evaluate and calculate global work-related diseases and occupational accidents by country level. Results can be used in developing and developed countries. A lot of information and data is collected. Statistical analyses of this data produce information that does not exist at the moment.
