  The principal objective of the statistics is to provide comprehensive and timely information on occupational injuries for prevention purposes. The statistics may be used for a number of purposes, such as:
--* to identify the occupations and economic activities where occupational injuries occur, along with their extent, severity and the way in which they occur, as a basis for planning preventive measures;
--* to set priorities for preventive efforts;
--* to detect changes in the pattern and occurrence of occupational injuries, so as to monitor improvements in safety and reveal any new areas of risk;
--* to inform employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations of the risks associated with their (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%) and workplaces, so that they can take an active part in their own safety;
--* to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures;
--* to estimate the consequences of occupational injuries, particularly in terms of days lost or costs;
--* to provide a basis for policy-making aimed at encouraging employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations to introduce accident prevention measures; (h) to assist in developing training material and programmes for accident prevention; to provide a basis for identifying possible areas for future research.
