A total of 1,292 cases of occupation-related diseases in 1 050 employees were reported in the Czech Republic in 2010. Of these, 1 236 were occupational diseases and 56 cases were given the status of “endangerment by an occupational disease”. The incidence of occupational diseases was 30.5 cases per 100 000 health insured employees in the public sector.

Most of the occupational diseases occurred in the Moravian-Silesian region (350 cases, i.e. 27.1 %). Most of the recognized cases occurred in the “health and social services” economic sector (180 cases, i.e. 13.9 %). The most frequently noted diagnosis was carpal tunnel syndrome (390 cases, i.e. 31.6 %). Contact allergic dermatitis (114 cases) and scabies (87 cases) were the other most frequently reported occupational diseases.

Among the cases reported as “endangerment by an occupational disease”, carpal tunnel syndrome predominated (44 cases, i.e. 78.6 %).

Key words:
