The document provides an overview of a presentation about global and African occupational health and safety strategies, trends, and the role of professionals. It discusses the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), global estimates of work-related deaths and diseases, trends in exposures and attributable fractions in established market economies, major disease and injury groups and modifiable factors, and changes in the workplace.
The document discusses pedestrian fatalities in road traffic accidents in Europe from 2001 to 2010. It finds that:
1) The number of pedestrian fatalities in the EU decreased by 39% from 2001 to 2010, while decreasing more than 42% for total road fatalities.
2) The rate of pedestrian fatalities per million population varies widely across Europe, from 3.8 in the Netherlands to over 40 in Romania.
3) The proportion of fatalities that were pedestrians also differs significantly, from over 30% in several Eastern European countries to 10-12% in the Netherlands, France and Sweden.
Pedestrian fatalities in traffic accidents reduced by 37% between 1996 and 2005 in 14 European countries. In 2005, nearly 3,700 pedestrians died from road traffic accidents in these countries, corresponding to 14% of total road fatalities. The rate of pedestrian fatalities per million population is highest in Poland and Estonia. The proportion of fatalities who were pedestrians is lowest in Belgium and the Netherlands. The elderly, defined as those over age 64, continue to make up a large number of pedestrian fatalities, though that number decreased by 41% between 1996 and 2005.
Predictions of decline made on 1.09.20 have not held.
There has been a spurt in deaths in the key states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Delhi that is still continuing.
Punjab and UP are especially worrying
Very recent trends are again showing stability/decline in deaths
Cancer was responsible for over 1.28 million deaths in the EU28 in 2011, accounting for 26.3% of all deaths. Lung cancer was the most common fatal cancer, causing over 266,000 deaths or 20.8% of cancer deaths. Cancer accounted for 37.1% of deaths among those under 65 but only 23.8% among those aged 65 and over. The highest rates of cancer deaths relative to all causes of death among those under 65 occurred in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Slovenia.

This document discusses the current and future burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Southeast Asia. It notes that 22% of global NCD deaths currently occur in Southeast Asian countries, with 34% of NCD deaths in the region occurring in people under 60 years old. The four main NCD risks are highlighted as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and tobacco use. The document projects that NCD deaths in the region will increase by 21% over the next 10 years due to population growth and aging. It concludes that health systems need to be better prepared to tackle the growing NCD challenge in Southeast Asia.

The document provides demographic and health data about Barnsley, England. It finds that Barnsley has an aging population and higher rates of deprivation, unemployment, obesity, and preventable disease compared to national and regional averages. Physical activity levels and sports participation rates in Barnsley are lower than averages as well, especially among females and older age groups. Addressing barriers like health issues, costs, and work commitments could help increase participation.
The document provides demographic, health, and physical activity data for Sheffield, England. Some key points:
- Sheffield's population is projected to rise, particularly among older age groups. Unemployment is higher than national averages.
- Life expectancy is lower in Sheffield than national averages, and varies up to 10 years between most and least deprived areas.
- Obesity levels among both adults and children in Sheffield are higher than national averages. Physical inactivity contributes to health issues.
- Participation in sport and physical activity has increased over time but remains below national levels, particularly for women and older/less affluent groups. Barriers include health issues, costs, and lack of time or access.
The last population census in Nigeria was conducted in 2006; which puts our population figure at approximately 140million. According to our law, another census will hold in 2 years time, since we practise democracy, which is a game of number, our population counts for who would like to govern at each level of government.
Equally important is the participation of Nigerians in the electioneering process. In order to vote and be voted for, 18years is the minimum, how have we fared in terms of awareness and participating in the process that elect those who govern us – local, state and federal governments?
This study takes a look at Nigeria population, political participation since the start of Democracy in 1999 and an estimate of the 2014 projected population, and hopefully to create awareness on the need to be more involved in the electioneering process.
Road Accident Analysis and Prevention in Nigeria: Experimental and Numerical ...IJASRD Journal
This paper empirically analysed road accident and its prevention in Nigeria. Data for road traffic crashes trend was sourced from Federal Road Safety Corps in Nigeria from 1960 - 2017. The data was tested for stationarity using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, while the co-integration was conducted using Johansen’s methodology. Least Square estimate was employed for the empirical analysis. The results show that there is long run equilibrium relationship between total number of casualties, total number of fatal cases and total number of minor cases of accidents in Nigeria. The results show that there is positive and significant relationship between fatal cases, severe cases and total number of casualties, while minor cases have negative and significant relationship with total number of casualties. The study therefore recommends that government should invest massively in road transportation infrastructure in order to repair dilapidated roads, expand narrow roads and construct new ones. Government should legislate and enforce installation of speed limit devices for all vehicles operating on Nigerian roads to reduce reckless speeding on the highways which will definitely reduce total number of accidents and casualties on Nigerian roads.
The document provides demographic and health data about Doncaster, England. It finds that Doncaster has a higher unemployment rate and levels of deprivation than regional and national averages. Life expectancy is lower in Doncaster, largely due to higher rates of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and respiratory disease. Obesity levels are significantly higher in both adults and children in Doncaster compared to national rates. Physical inactivity costs Doncaster £4.93 million annually and contributes to hundreds of preventable deaths and disease cases. Sports participation in Doncaster is lower than national and regional rates, with significant gender gaps, and is lowest in more deprived areas.
Road traffic injuries and deaths are a major public health issue in India. Some key points from the document are:
- Road traffic deaths in India are estimated between 1.2-1.5 lakh annually based on various reports, with many more serious injuries.
- Risk factors for road traffic crashes in India include rising motorization, lack of enforcement of traffic laws like helmet and seatbelt usage, drinking and driving, speeding, and poor post-crash emergency response.
- Road users most at risk are men, young people, and two-wheeler riders in both urban and rural areas. Addressing this crisis requires action on enforcement of laws, road engineering, trauma care systems, and public health interventions.

This document discusses work-related injuries and illnesses, factors that influence workplace safety culture, and methods of prevention. It provides data on workplace fatality rates in Singapore from 2004-2013, showing a decline from 4.9 to 2.1 deaths per 100,000 workers. Worldwide, an estimated 2.3 million deaths are caused by work annually, including 25,801 in Turkey. The largest occupational causes of death are cancers, circulatory diseases, and accidents. Effective prevention requires leadership commitment to safety, identifying hazards, setting targets, ensuring safe systems, using safe technology, training workers, and investing in people. Both perceived and real risks in the workplace must be addressed.
Safe Work - Healthy Work - For Life. HSE Excellence Europe Vienna Conference...Jukka Takala
Work-related diseases and, in particular, occcupational cancer is a major epidemic and growing. More than 600, 000 die every year. This is not sustainable. Work during the whole life must be made safe and healthy. This is not only sound economic policy but a basic human right.
This second edition of the health system review of Philippines shows the major changes that have occurred over the 7 years since the last review. Channelling of funds from sin tax to Health has shown unprecedented levels of finances are now available for UHC. PhilHealth has dramatically increased coverage of people as well as service providers that it works with from both government and non-government sectors. However major challenges remain; regional and socioeconomic disparities in the availability and accessibility of resources are prominent and there is a need to improve regulation of service providers. Philippines HiT reports on the current health system reforms undertaken including challenges of incorporating primary health care as in the overall health architecture of the country.
This document discusses the EU Sharps Directive which requires member states to implement safety measures to prevent needlestick injuries for healthcare workers by May 2013. It aims to achieve the safest working environment through risk assessment, prevention training, and monitoring reporting mechanisms. Needlestick injuries most often occur during or after use before disposal. While underreported, they pose risks of transmitting bloodborne viruses. Engineering controls that build safety into medical devices are the most effective prevention strategy according to the risk control hierarchy.
Presenting the ACCJ-EBC Health Policy White Paper 2013ACCJ
The document summarizes the 2013 ACCJ-EBC Health Policy White Paper. It provides an overview of the white paper's goals of promoting economic growth in Japan through policies that lengthen healthy lifespans and reduce the economic burden of preventable and treatable diseases. The white paper covers 36 healthcare topics and makes over 150 policy recommendations across 6 chapters focusing on issues like non-communicable diseases, women's health, infectious diseases, healthcare safety and more. It is intended to build on the recommendations of previous ACCJ health policy white papers from 2010 and 2011.
This document summarizes key findings from the OECD report "Health at a Glance 2015: How Japan Compares?". It finds that:
1) Quality of care in Japan is generally good, though there is room to improve diabetes care and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions. Mortality for heart attacks after admission is also high.
2) Japan has fewer doctors per capita than most OECD countries, though nurse supply is high. There are opportunities to better utilize nurses and improve efficiency.
3) Healthcare spending in Japan has risen faster than most OECD countries in recent years and is now higher than the OECD average as a share of GDP. Achieving greater value for money through efficiency gains is a priority
Viet Nam has a population of over 97 million people. In 2020, there were approximately 182,563 new cancer cases and 122,690 cancer deaths reported in the country. The most common cancers among males were liver, lung, and stomach cancer, while among females the most common were breast, lung, and colorectal cancer. Overall, the cancers with the highest incidence rates were liver, lung, breast, stomach, and colorectal cancer. Cancer remains a significant health issue in Viet Nam, as the risk of developing and dying from cancer before age 75 remains high.
3. Occupational cancer burden identifying the main culpritsRetired
The document analyzes occupational cancer in Great Britain. It finds that currently there are about 8,000 cancer deaths and 14,000 cases annually due to past work exposures. The main causes identified are lung cancer, mesothelioma, and breast cancer. The construction industry accounts for the highest proportion of the cancer burden. The future burden could be significantly lower if appropriate interventions are implemented, such as lowering exposure limits for substances like respirable crystalline silica and improving compliance, especially in small workplaces.

This document provides HIV/AIDS related data and information for Lunglei District in Mizoram, India from 2000 to 2018. It includes statistics on testing and facilities, trends in positive cases by transmission route and demographics, and goals to achieve 90-90-90 targets. Key challenges are also noted around administration, funding, harm reduction, and achieving estimated population coverage. Data on drug use patterns and status of high-risk groups like injecting drug users and sex workers are presented from targeted intervention programs in Lunglei town. ART status numbers are provided as of October 2018.
This document provides a global perspective on the COVID-19 pandemic. It summarizes statistics on cases and deaths for various countries and notes some key differences in outcomes. India has experienced a relatively modest death toll compared to other large countries. This has been attributed to factors like lower median age, diet, traditional medicine practices, and less reliance on pharmaceuticals. However, high urban densities and pollution likely increased risks as well. Overall lockdown strategies varied significantly between countries and regions, with Asian countries faring better overall despite more modest restrictions. Morale and stresses on immunity are also discussed as important influencing factors.
This document summarizes HIV/AIDS trends, facilities, and programs in Lunglei District, Mizoram from 2000-2018. It notes the increasing number of HIV testing and treatment centers over time. Key findings include: the primary mode of HIV transmission is heterosexual contact; the majority of positive cases are among those aged 25-34; and the percentage of positive tests has increased in recent years among drug users. It also shows data on the number of people tested, enrolled in ART treatment, and virally suppressed over the years. Addressing gaps in awareness, funding, and harm reduction for drug users are identified as important ongoing issues.
The document discusses safety issues in the global workplace. It provides statistics estimating 2.2 million annual deaths from occupational accidents and diseases. While some progress has been made, work remains unsafe for many. The document then examines safety regulations and initiatives at international, European, and national (Italian and French) levels. Finally, it recommends actions like encouraging social dialogue between unions and employers, and adapting work to support workers' physical and mental health, to help solve safety problems.

16. Changes in the workplace 1
• Economic structure
– Tertiarisation: usually implies fewer accidents but
higher prevalence of psychosocial issues
• Employment structure
– Part-time, seasonal, temporary agency work,
subcontracting, self-employment, telework
• Legislation and best practice
– e.g., to encourage the integration of people with
disabilities at work
– requires more attention to workers’ health status
(incl. chronic diseases)
17. • Ageing population
– delayed retirement: more important to maintain health
and work ability
– Workers >55 suffer the most serious accidents, and
have the greatest incidence of illnesses such as
occupational cancers
• Increasing number of women at work
– Traditionally under-researched and overlooked:
emphasis on accidents and male-dominated sectors
and occupations
• Increasing number of migrant workers
– Concentrated in high-risk sectors
– Over-represented in hazardous jobs
Changes in the workplace 2
18. • True rate of work-related death, injury and ill health
underestimated by national official figures
• For example due to:
– Under reporting or non-reporting
– Exclusion of injuries resulting in no absence or 1-3 days
absence
– Lack of knowledge or recognition of work-relatedness
of some ill health, especially if latency period long or
multifactorial causes
– ….
