Recording and Notification of Occupational Accidents and Diseases
Year: 1996 Language: english Author: ILO Genre: Handbook Publisher: ILO Edition: 1st ISBN: 92-2-109451-0 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 96 Description: Previous ILO instruments and codes of practice have included general provisions for the reporting of occupational accidents and diseases. However, they have dealt only to a very limited extent with the need for harmonization and more effective recording and notification of such accidents and diseases as a tool for preventive action. The lack of internationally agreed guidelines means that national definitions of occupational accidents and diseases frequently differ from the international standard definition recommended by the resolution concerning statistics of occupational injuries, adopted by the Thirteenth International Conference of Labour Statisticians (Geneva, 1982); variations among countries also exist in collection and notification procedures, as well as in the coverage and sources of statistics. The result is a diversity of situations in member States. International comparisons concerning measures of success in compliance, enforcement and preventive action are not possible unless harmonization is achieved. In accordance with the decision taken by the Governing Body of the ILO at its 259th Session (March 1994), a meeting of experts was convened in Geneva from 3 to 11 October 1994 to draw up a code of practice on the recording and notification of occupational accidents and diseases. The meeting was composed of 21 experts, seven appointed following consultations with governments, seven appointed following consultations with the Employers’ group and seven appointed following consultations with the Workers’ group of the Governing Body.1

accidents and diseases frequently differ from the international standard definition

variations among countries also exist in collection and notification procedures, as well
