25 25  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:

27 -* (a) 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;
28 -* (b) to set priorities for preventive efforts;
29 -* (c) 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;
30 -* (d) to inform employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations of the risks associated with their (% style="color: rgb(231, 76, 60); color: rgb(231, 76, 60)" %)work(%%) and workplaces, so that they can take an active part in their own safety;
31 -* (e) to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures;
32 -* (f) to estimate the consequences of occupational injuries, particularly in terms of days lost or costs;
33 -* (g) to provide a basis for policy-making aimed at encouraging employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations to introduce accident prevention measures;
34 -* (h) to assist in developing training material and programmes for accident prevention;
35 -* (i) to provide a basis for identifying possible areas for future research.
