Dijana Poplašen Orlovac ; Hrvatski zavod za zaštitu zdravlja i sigurnost na radu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

In 2010 the Croatian Institute for Health Protection and Safety at Work received 16,025 work injury reports. Work injuries are indicators of the extent of implementation of the basic and special safety regulations at work and of the overall state of work conditions that may impair health or even pose a threat to the lives of the workers. Reported cases were analysed with respect to the employee characteristics, site where the injury occurred, the type of business activity, part of the body that had sustained injury and the most frequent diagnoses. Analysis shows problems in identifying and recognising work-related injuries.
