Occupational health and safety

Occupational accidents and diseases
Occupational accidents with absence is defined as the number of reported work-related accidents involving at least one day’s absence after the day on which the accident occurred. Occupational diseases is the number of new reported cases of work-related diseases. The consequences of occupational accidents and occupational diseases are measured by recording the work situation once the outcome of the incident has stabilized, for example whether the employee has returned to his or her original job, and the total number of (calendar) absence days. The frequency of occupational accidents with absence and diseases is calculated per million working hours.
