The table provides the number of WCB accepted occupational fatalities by gender in the most current year. It also provides the number of people in employment by gender. The fatality frequency rate was calculated by dividing the number of fatality claims from workers of different gender group to the number of workers employed by different gender group and multiply the result by one million. The number of fatalities was counted based on the fatality claim acceptance year.

The number of deaths in the workplace in Russia saw a general decline in the past two decades. In 2023, over one million people were fatally injured in occupational accidents, the vast majority of whom were men.

Numbers of work injuries and occupational diseases by gender nationality and outcome of injury in 2018

The spreadsheet contains confirmed work-related fatalities by calendar year and month.\r \r Breakdowns are provided by month and year, age and gender, industry, category and LGA. Details of each fatality are also provided.\r \r Access interactive visualisations of workplace fatalities data here.\r \r Data reflects a snapshot point in time and is subject to revision due to claims development i.e. injuries incurred but that have not yet been reported. Therefore historical published fatality counts can change.\r \r The way we report on lives lost in Victorian workplaces has changed. Previously, this reporting excluded some work-related deaths that were not attributable to duties or obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, such as those caused by transport accidents or occupational diseases.\r \r Now workers who die on the road, suicides attributable to work, industrial diseases such as silicosis, and workplace deaths resulting from a criminal act, are included.\r \r We implemented this change for reporting for the 2020-21 financial year, commencing 1 July 2020.

Ensuring social data's reliability is essential in accurately evaluating social and economic impacts across geographical locations, economic sectors and stakeholder categories. Yet, the MRIO model utilized in our research (EXIOBASE) was hindered by out-of-date or significantly proxy fatality statistics, causing potential inaccuracies in our findings. We have comprehensively revised EXIOBASE fatality data to address this shortcoming, incorporating detailed, nation-specific, and up-to-date data. The update includes work-related fatal occupational injuries as well as fatalities associated with occupational exposure to a variety of 17 hazardous substances and conditions such as asbestos, arsenic, benzene, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, diesel engine exhaust, formaldehyde, nickel, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, silica, sulfuric acid, trichloroethylene, asthmagens, particulate matter, gases and fumes, noise and ergonomic factors. Our methodological process is built on three pillars: data acquisition, raw data processing, and computation of fatal injuries by country, gender, year, and EXIOBASE economic sector.

Data were sourced from the World Health Organization (WHO) (Pega et al., 2021) and Eurostat databases (Publications Office of the European Union, 2013). The WHO data was carefully screened based on specific criteria such as age above 15 years, gender, and fatal injuries only. Eurostat data provided granular information on work-related fatalities, classified by economic activities in the European Community (or NACE Rev.2 (Eurostat, 2008)). The WHO provided aggregate fatality data for 2010 and 2016. The strategy for allocating these deaths across Eurostat categories depended on the countries' geographical location, with different methods applied to European and non-European nations.

For European nations, fluctuations in fatality numbers within a NACE Rev.2 sector mirrored the changes registered by Eurostat. For non-European countries, fatality figures were proportionally allocated across economic sectors split according to the NACE Rev.2 classification, reflecting the workforce size associated with each economic sector. Due to the scarcity of data for nations within Asia, America, or Africa, we adopted a regional approach, computing fatality ratios over each NACE Rev.2 category for each region by integrating data for available countries over a reference year. For 2010 and 2016, the aggregate fatality figures for nations within these three zones were established. Due to the temporal proximity of both reference years, we postulated a linear trend in the fatality count between these two years. The number of fatalities for a specific country, year, and per NACE Rev.2 activity was then calculated by applying the previously mentioned fatality ratio to the total number of deaths for that nation. Last, we applied the European annual ratios to their total mortality figures for the few countries that could not be classified as European or belonging to one of the aforementioned zones.

The result is a comprehensive database that includes the number of fatalities (expressed in the number of deaths for work-related fatal occupational injuries and in Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), for fatalities associated with occupational exposure to a specific risk factor), detailed at the country, gender, and NACE Rev.2 sector levels from 2008 to 2019, providing insights into work-related fatal injuries across different health effects and geographical regions.

The impact of traumatic workplace death on bereaved families, including their mental health and well-being, has rarely been systematically examined. This study aimed to document the rates and key correlates of probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and prolonged grief disorder (PGD) in family members following a workplace injury fatality. The hidden nature of the target population necessitated outreach recruitment techniques, including the use of social media, newspaper articles, radio interviews, and contact with major family support organizations. Data were collected using a cross-sectional design and international online survey. The PCL-C (PTSD), the PHQ-8 (MDD), and PG-13 (PGD) were used to measure mental health disorders. All are well-established self-report measures with strong psychometric qualities. Participants were from Australia (62%), Canada (17%), the USA (16%), and the UK (5%). The majority were females (89.9%), reflecting the gender distribution of traumatic workplace deaths (over 90% of fatalities are male). Most were partners/spouses (38.5%) or parents (35%) and over half (64%) were next of kin to the deceased worker. Most deaths occurred in the industries that regularly account for more than 70 percent of all industrial deaths—construction, manufacturing, transport, and agriculture forestry and fishing. At a mean of 6.40 years (SD = 5.78) post-death, 61 percent of participants had probable PTSD, 44 percent had probable MDD, and 43 percent had probable PGD. Logistic regressions indicated that a longer time since the death reduced the risk of having each disorder. Being next of kin and having a self-reported mental health history increased the risk of having MDD. Of the related information and support variables, having satisfactory support from family, support from a person to help navigate the post-death formalities, and satisfactory information about the death were associated with a decreased risk of probable PTSD, MDD, and PGD, respectively. The findings highlight the potential magnitude of the problem and the need for satisfactory information and support for bereaved families.

This table contains data on occupational accidents of Dutch employees aged 15 to 75, by age and gender. The table presents figures on the share of employees with an occupational accident in the past 12 months, and the type of injury that employees have sustained. This concerns both occupational accidents that lead to absenteeism and occupational accidents without absenteeism at work. Since 2015, the measurement of occupational accidents has improved. An extra check has been carried out to determine whether the occupational accident took place in the past 12 months. As a result, the share of employees with an occupational accident will be slightly lower from 2015 onwards. From the 2022 reporting year, the way in which data for the NEA is collected and processed differs in several respects from previous reporting years. As a result, the figures from 2022 may not be comparable in all cases with the figures up to and including 2021. More information is available in the study description of the NEA 2022 (see section 4). All figures are based on at least 100 observations. Data available from: 2014. Status of the figures: Figures in this table are final. Changes as of April 18, 2023: The annual figures for 2022 have been added. The way in which the figures on injuries from the most recent accident are compiled is uniform. As a result, the figures for this subject for 2014 may differ slightly from previously published figures. Confidence intervals have also been added to the table, and the minimum number of observations for publication has been changed from 200 to 100. When will new figures be released? The figures for the previous year will be published in May at the latest.

BackgroundChina has witnessed a surge in violence against medical personnel, including widely reported incidents of violent abuse, riots, attacks, and protests in hospitals, but little is known about the impact of gender differences on the workplace violence against physicians of obstetrics and gynecology. The aim of this study was to analyse gender differences in workplace violence against physicians of obstetrics and gynecology in China.MethodsPrinted questionnaires were sent to participants of a national congress of obstetricians and gynecologists. The questionnaire consisted of items relevant to epidemiologic characteristics, workplace violence experienced in the past 12 months, participants’ attitudes toward violence and physician–patient relationship. Data from female and male physicians were compared in univariate and multivariate analyses.ResultsWe sent out 1,425 questionnaires, and 1,300 (91.2%) physicians responded. Among 1,247 participants with specified gender, female and male physicians consisted of 162 (13.0%) and 1,085 (87.0%), respectively. Over the past 12 months, about two-thirds of these physicians suffered verbal abuse in the workplace, gender difference aside. After adjustment for education status, working hospital and subspecialty, male physicians had suffered more physical assaults than female colleagues (18.8% vs. 10.5%, adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.3, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4–3.7), most attacks without apparent physical injuries (adjusted OR 2.3, 95% CI, 1.4–3.7). Male physicians also suffered more sexual assaults than female colleagues (5.0% vs. 1.3%, adjusted OR 4.8, 95% CI, 1.8–13.3), nearly all of verbal harassment. There were only two sexual attacks on female physicians, and no rapes occurred. Although almost all physicians regarded the current circumstance as “unhealthy and stressful”, more than half of them would take various active initiatives to create and maintain healthy and friendly physician–patient relationships.ConclusionMale physicians of obstetrics and gynecology in China suffered the same number of verbal abuse incidents but more physical and sexual assaults than their female colleagues. Both genders had similar opinions about causes, consequences and management about work violence against physicians, and had the same pessimistic perspectives but innovative wishes for the physician–patient relationship.
