Who is the worker?


Not a childs play, not romantic

World Statistics

7,600 people die each day, 2.78 million people die each year from work-related injuries or disease

Diseases related to work cause the most deaths among workers. Hazardous substances alone are estimated to cause 651,279 deaths a year.

The construction industry has a disproportionately high rate of recorded accidents.

Younger and older workers are particularly vulnerable. The ageing population in developed countries means that an increasing number of older persons are working and need special consideration.

The gross underreporting of occupational accidents and diseases, including fatal accidents, is giving a false picture of the scope of the problem


Causes of fatalities


Challenges

Deaths: 2.78 million a year

Non-fatal diseases: 160 million a year

Accidents: 270 million a year

Tend to see the negative consequences due to - globalization of the economy; liberalization of world trade; new technology

Psychosocial factors and emerging issues Stress, alcohol and drug abuse, workplace violence, passive smoking at work

High-risk sectors Agriculture, Mining, construction, Fishing, Shipbreaking,

Informal sector - manual collection and recycling of waste, agriculture; poor working environment and unsatisfactory welfare facilities; occupational health services are virtually non-existent; meaningful safety statistics are a rarity


Cost of work accidents and illness

In 2001, over $1,250,000 million a year 4 per cent of world GDP

Compensation payments

Early retirements

Absenteeism

Unemployment

Poorer households


Impacts of poor health and safety on a company's bottom line

Loss of productivity

Loss of skilled, experienced employees

Payment of compensation and/or damages

Material damage to equipment and premises

Disputes with trade unions, public authorities

Loss of image

etc.


Reputation and responsibility

Occupational health and safety are important elements in

Triple bottom line - Profits, People and Planet

Sustainability

Corporate social responsibility - corporate image has a major impact on companies' economic performance

Greater emphasis on the valuation of intangible assets, including "human capital


Two major strategies to improve OHS


An integrated approach to streamline - standard-setting, codes and guidelines, technical cooperation, international cooperation, statistical analysis and

information dissemination

Use of voluntary measures, wide use of the ISO standard on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems
