 Global Situation of Occupational Safety & Health
Exposure to long working hours and workplace exposure to air
pollution, asthmagens, carcinogens, ergonomic risk factors,
and noise are some of the occupational risk factors.
Between 2000 and 2016, work-related deaths per population fell
by 14%. However, deaths from heart disease and stroke associated
with exposure to long working hours rose by 41 and 19 %
respectively.
In 2021, 136 million healthcare and social workers are at serious
risk of contracting COVID-19 at work.
