Abstract
Estimating population burdens of occupational disease.
Highlights
Knowing the public health impact of occupational hazards is important for prioritization of preventive and mitigating measures and in monitoring how well they succeed
Information is needed on attributable morbidity and mortality, both globally and by national/regional jurisdiction
Even where a disorder is not occupational in origin, it may be made worse by exposures in the workplace to an extent that can be determined in the individual case
Summary
Knowing the public health impact of occupational hazards is important for prioritization of preventive and mitigating measures and in monitoring how well they succeed. Public health burden can be estimated by aggregating data on individual cases, either across the population as a whole, or in a representative subsample.
