The document discusses occupational safety and health (OSH). It provides data on work-related accidents and diseases from sources like the International Labour Organization and Philippine government surveys. Every year there are millions of work-related accidents and diseases worldwide resulting in millions of deaths and lost work days. The document outlines key OSH concepts like defining accidents, identifying causes of accidents related to people, equipment, materials and environment, and the relationship between accidents and productivity. Common unsafe and unhealthy acts and conditions that can lead to accidents are also described.
