A total of 1042 cases of occupation-related diseases in 876 workers were reported in the Czech Republic in 2013. Of these, 983 were occupational diseases and 59 cases were given the status of “endangerment by an occupational disease”. The incidence of occupational diseases was 23.6 cases per 100.000 health insured employees in the public sector. Most of the occupational diseases occurred in the Moravian-Silesian region (299 cases, i.e. 28.7%).
