Overview

A total of 1,092 cases of occupation-related diseases in 911 workers were reported in the Czech Republic in 2015. Of these, 1,035 were occupational diseases and 57 cases were given the status of “endangerment by an occupational disease”. The incidence of occupational diseases was 24.4 cases per 100,000 health insured employees in the public sector. Most of the occupational diseases occurred in the Moravian-Silesian region (395 cases, i.e. 36.2%). Most of the recognized cases occurred in the “production of motor vehicles” economic sector (186 cases, i.e. 17.0%). Carpal tunnel syndrome (354 cases, i.e. 34.2%) and contact allergic dermatitis (119 cases, i.e. 11.5%) were the most frequently reported occupational diseases. Among the cases reported as endangerment by an occupational disease, the carpal tunnel syndrome predominated (41 cases, i.e. 71.9%).
