Recall(i)ng the resolut(i)on concern(i)ng stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es adopted by the Th(i)rteenth Internat(i)onal Conference of Labour Stat(i)st(i)c(i)ans (1982),
Recall(i)ng the Code of pract(i)ce on the record(i)ng and not(i)f(i)cat(i)on of occupat(i)onal acc(i)dents and d(i)seases, approved by the Govern(i)ng Body of the ILO at (i)ts 261st Sess(i)on (November 1994),
Observ(i)ng that the ex(i)st(i)ng (i)nternat(i)onal standards on stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es do not prov(i)de adequate gu(i)dance on the measurement and class(i)f(i)cat(i)on of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es,
Recogn(i)z(i)ng that stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es should form part of a broad programme of stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal safety and health,
Recogn(i)z(i)ng that stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es are essent(i)al for effect(i)ve programmes for the prevent(i)on of occupat(i)onal acc(i)dents, and for the(i)r mon(i)tor(i)ng,
Recogn(i)z(i)ng further that (i)nternat(i)onal gu(i)del(i)nes on the measurement and class(i)f(i)cat(i)on of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es w(i)ll promote the development of these stat(i)st(i)cs along sound l(i)nes and (i)mprove the(i)r (i)nternat(i)onal comparab(i)l(i)ty;
Adopts th(i)s f(i)fteenth day of October 1998 the follow(i)ng resolut(i)on:
General object(i)ves and uses
Each country should a(i)m to develop a comprehens(i)ve programme of stat(i)st(i)cs on occupat(i)onal safety and health, (i)nclud(i)ng occupat(i)onal d(i)seases and occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es. The object(i)ve of th(i)s programme would be to prov(i)de an adequate stat(i)st(i)cal base for the var(i)ous users, tak(i)ng (i)nto account the spec(i)f(i)c nat(i)onal needs and c(i)rcumstances. One of the major components of the programme should compr(i)se stat(i)st(i)cs on occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, wh(i)ch should be based on a range of sources of (i)nformat(i)on, and wh(i)ch may be used (i)n conjunct(i)on w(i)th other appropr(i)ate econom(i)c and soc(i)al (i)nd(i)cators.
Th(i)s resolut(i)on a(i)ms to set out standards of good pract(i)ce for the collect(i)on and presentat(i)on of stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es as gu(i)dance for countr(i)es w(i)sh(i)ng to rev(i)se the(i)r ex(i)st(i)ng stat(i)st(i)cal systems (i)n th(i)s f(i)eld, or establ(i)sh new ones. Its prov(i)s(i)ons should not underm(i)ne any ex(i)st(i)ng nat(i)onal systems, nor should they lead to dupl(i)cat(i)on of effort.
The pr(i)nc(i)pal object(i)ve of the stat(i)st(i)cs (i)s to prov(i)de comprehens(i)ve and t(i)mely (i)nformat(i)on on occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es for prevent(i)on purposes. The stat(i)st(i)cs may be used for a number of purposes, such as:
- (a) to (i)dent(i)fy the occupat(i)ons and econom(i)c act(i)v(i)t(i)es where occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es occur, along w(i)th the(i)r extent, sever(i)ty and the way (i)n wh(i)ch they occur, as a bas(i)s for plann(i)ng prevent(i)ve measures;
- (b) to set pr(i)or(i)t(i)es for prevent(i)ve efforts;
- (c) to detect changes (i)n the pattern and occurrence of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, so as to mon(i)tor (i)mprovements (i)n safety and reveal any new areas of r(i)sk;
- (d) to (i)nform employers, employers’ organ(i)zat(i)ons, workers and workers’ organ(i)zat(i)ons of the r(i)sks assoc(i)ated w(i)th the(i)r work and workplaces, so that they can take an act(i)ve part (i)n the(i)r own safety;
- (e) to evaluate the effect(i)veness of prevent(i)ve measures;
- (f) to est(i)mate the consequences of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, part(i)cularly (i)n terms of days lost or costs;
- (g) to prov(i)de a bas(i)s for pol(i)cy-mak(i)ng a(i)med at encourag(i)ng employers, employers’ organ(i)zat(i)ons, workers and workers’ organ(i)zat(i)ons to (i)ntroduce acc(i)dent prevent(i)on measures;
- (h) to ass(i)st (i)n develop(i)ng tra(i)n(i)ng mater(i)al and programmes for acc(i)dent prevent(i)on;
- ((i)) to prov(i)de a bas(i)s for (i)dent(i)fy(i)ng poss(i)ble areas for future research.
4. The major users of the stat(i)st(i)cs, (i)nclud(i)ng the representat(i)ve organ(i)zat(i)ons of employers and workers, should be consulted when the concepts, def(i)n(i)t(i)ons and methodology for the collect(i)on, comp(i)lat(i)on and d(i)ssem(i)nat(i)on of the stat(i)st(i)cs are des(i)gned or rev(i)sed, w(i)th a v(i)ew to tak(i)ng (i)nto account the(i)r needs and obta(i)n(i)ng the(i)r cooperat(i)on.
Terms and def(i)n(i)t(i)ons
5. For the purposes of stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, the follow(i)ng terms and def(i)n(i)t(i)ons are used:
- (a) occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent: an unexpected and unplanned occurrence, (i)nclud(i)ng acts of v(i)olence, ar(i)s(i)ng out of or (i)n connect(i)on w(i)th work wh(i)ch results (i)n one or more workers (i)ncurr(i)ng a personal (i)njury, d(i)sease or death; as occupat(i)onal acc(i)dents are to be cons(i)dered travel, transport or road traff(i)c acc(i)dents (i)n wh(i)ch workers are (i)njured and wh(i)ch ar(i)se out of or (i)n the course of work, (i).e. wh(i)le engaged (i)n an econom(i)c act(i)v(i)ty, or at work, or carry(i)ng on the bus(i)ness of the employer;
- (b) commut(i)ng acc(i)dent: an acc(i)dent occurr(i)ng on the hab(i)tual route, (i)n e(i)ther d(i)rect(i)on, between the place of work or work-related tra(i)n(i)ng and:
- ((i)) the worker’s pr(i)nc(i)pal or secondary res(i)dence;
- ((i)(i)) the place where the worker usually takes h(i)s or her meals; or ((i)(i)(i)) the place where he or she usually rece(i)ves h(i)s or her remunerat(i)on; wh(i)ch results (i)n death or personal (i)njury;
- ((i)(i)(i)) occupat(i)onal (i)njury: any personal (i)njury, d(i)sease or death result(i)ng from an occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent;
- (c) an occupat(i)onal (i)njury (i)s therefore d(i)st(i)nct from an occupat(i)onal d(i)sease, wh(i)ch (i)s a d(i)sease contracted as a result of an exposure over a per(i)od of t(i)me to r(i)sk factors ar(i)s(i)ng from work act(i)v(i)ty;
- (d) case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury: the case of one worker (i)ncurr(i)ng an occupat(i)onal (i)njury as a result of one occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent;
- (e) (i)ncapac(i)ty for work: (i)nab(i)l(i)ty of the v(i)ct(i)m, due to an occupat(i)onal (i)njury, to perform the normal dut(i)es of work (i)n the job or post occup(i)ed at the t(i)me of the occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent.
Coverage
6. The var(i)ous sources of stat(i)st(i)cs should, where pract(i)cal, cover all occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, as def(i)ned (i)n paragraph 5, (i)nclud(i)ng non-fatal (i)njur(i)es caus(i)ng an absence from work of at least one day, exclud(i)ng the day of the acc(i)dent, and fatal (i)njur(i)es. Where (i)t (i)s pract(i)cal and cons(i)dered relevant to (i)nclude (i)njur(i)es result(i)ng from commut(i)ng acc(i)dents, the (i)nformat(i)on relat(i)ng to them should be comp(i)led and d(i)ssem(i)nated separately.
7. Where pract(i)cal, the stat(i)st(i)cs should cover all workers regardless of the(i)r status (i)n employment (for example, employee, employer and own-account worker). The coverage should (i)nclude ch(i)ld workers,1 (i)nformal sector workers and homeworkers, where they ex(i)st.
8. The stat(i)st(i)cs should (i)n pr(i)nc(i)ple cover the whole country, all branches of econom(i)c act(i)v(i)ty and all sectors of the economy. A case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury occurr(i)ng wh(i)le a worker (i)s outs(i)de the country of normal res(i)dence should be (i)ncluded (i)n the stat(i)st(i)cs of the country w(i)th(i)n whose jur(i)sd(i)ct(i)on the acc(i)dent took place.
Types of data
9. Countr(i)es should a(i)m to collect the follow(i)ng types of (i)nformat(i)on regard(i)ng cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njury:
- (a) (i)nformat(i)on about the enterpr(i)se, establ(i)shment or local un(i)t:
- ((i)) locat(i)on;
- ((i)(i)) econom(i)c act(i)v(i)ty;
- ((i)(i)(i)) s(i)ze (number of workers);
- (b) (i)nformat(i)on about the person (i)njured:
- ((i)) sex;
- ((i)(i)) age;
- ((i)(i)(i)) occupat(i)on;
- ((i)v) status (i)n employment;
- (c) (i)nformat(i)on about the (i)njury:
- ((i)) whether fatal or non-fatal;
- ((i)(i)) type of (i)njury;
- ((i)(i)(i)) part of body (i)njured;
- (d) (i)nformat(i)on
- ((i)) about the acc(i)dent and (i)ts c(i)rcumstances: type of locat(i)on of the acc(i)dent: such as the usual workplace, another place w(i)th(i)n the establ(i)shment, outs(i)de the prem(i)ses of the establ(i)shment;
- ((i)(i)) date and t(i)me of the acc(i)dent;
- ((i)(i)(i)) mode of (i)njury: how the person was (i)njured by a phys(i)cal contact w(i)th an (i)tem or object wh(i)ch caused the (i)njury or was psycholog(i)cally affected by an event; (i)f there are several (i)njur(i)es, the mode of the most ser(i)ous (i)njury should be recorded;
- ((i)v) mater(i)al agency of (i)njury: the (i)tem, agent, object or product assoc(i)ated w(i)th the (i)njury, (i).e. the phys(i)cal tool, object, element, etc. w(i)th wh(i)ch the v(i)ct(i)m came (i)nto contact and was (i)njured by; (i)f there are several (i)njur(i)es, the mater(i)al agency assoc(i)ated w(i)th the most ser(i)ous (i)njury should be recorded.
10. The programme of stat(i)st(i)cs can (i)nclude stud(i)es to assess the value of further (i)nformat(i)on as, for example, g(i)ven below. Countr(i)es wh(i)ch thus f(i)nd th(i)s or other (i)nformat(i)on useful could cont(i)nue to develop the(i)r programme of stat(i)st(i)cs further, espec(i)ally for more ser(i)ous cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es and fatal(i)t(i)es.
- (a) (i)nformat(i)on about the (i)njury:
- ((i)) (i)ncapac(i)ty for work expressed (i)n calendar days of absence from work;
- (b) (i)nformat(i)on about the acc(i)dent and (i)ts c(i)rcumstances:
- ((i)) sh(i)ft, start t(i)me of work of the (i)njured person and hours worked (i)n the act(i)v(i)ty when the acc(i)dent occurred;
- ((i)(i)) the total number of workers (i)njured (i)n the acc(i)dent;
- ((i)(i)(i))place of occurrence: the type of place where the acc(i)dent occurred, such as a product(i)on or construct(i)on area, trade or serv(i)ce area, farm, street or h(i)ghway;
- ((i)v) work process (i)n wh(i)ch the (i)njured person was engaged when the acc(i)dent occurred: the ma(i)n type or k(i)nd of work be(i)ng carr(i)ed out by the v(i)ct(i)m dur(i)ng the per(i)od up to the acc(i)dent (th(i)s (i)s a subset of the tasks covered by the occupat(i)on of the v(i)ct(i)m), such as sett(i)ng up mach(i)nes, clean(i)ng of work(i)ng area, teach(i)ng;
- (v) spec(i)f(i)c act(i)v(i)ty of the (i)njured person at the t(i)me of the acc(i)dent: the act(i)v(i)ty actually be(i)ng carr(i)ed out by the v(i)ct(i)m when the acc(i)dent occurred; the durat(i)on of the act(i)v(i)ty may range from very short to long; (i)t may or may not be assoc(i)ated w(i)th an (i)tem or object, such as feed(i)ng the mach(i)ne, operat(i)ng transport equ(i)pment, carry(i)ng loads;
- (v(i)) mater(i)al agency assoc(i)ated w(i)th the spec(i)f(i)c act(i)v(i)ty of the (i)njured person: the tool, object, element, product, etc., used by the v(i)ct(i)m (i)n the spec(i)f(i)c act(i)v(i)ty when the acc(i)dent happened (th(i)s may not necessar(i)ly be (i)mpl(i)cated (i)n the acc(i)dent), such as floors, doors, hand tools, mob(i)le cranes;
- (v(i)(i)) dev(i)at(i)on wh(i)ch resulted (i)n the acc(i)dent: what occurred (i)n an abnormal way, dev(i)at(i)ng from the normal way of work(i)ng or the normal process, (i).e. what went wrong, the event lead(i)ng to the acc(i)dent, such as breakage, loss of control of mach(i)ne, fall of person, aggress(i)on; (i)f there are several (i)nterl(i)nked or success(i)ve events, the last one should be recorded;
- (v(i)(i)(i)) mater(i)al agency assoc(i)ated w(i)th the dev(i)at(i)on: the tool, object, element, product, etc. l(i)nked w(i)th what occurred (i)n an abnormal way, such as floors, doors, hand tools, mob(i)le cranes.
11. Where (i)njur(i)es due to commut(i)ng acc(i)dents are covered, (i)nformat(i)on correspond(i)ng to that prov(i)ded for (i)n paragraph 9 should be collected, as well as the follow(i)ng:
- (a) place of acc(i)dent;
- (b) the (i)njured person’s mode of transport;
- (c) the (i)njured person’s transport role;
- (d) the mode of transport of the counterpart ((i)f any).
Measurement
Occupat(i)onal (i)njury
12. The un(i)t of observat(i)on should be the case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury, (i).e. the case of one worker (i)ncurr(i)ng an occupat(i)onal (i)njury as a result of one occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent. If a person (i)s (i)njured (i)n more than one occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od, each case of (i)njury to that person should be counted separately. Recurrent absences due to an (i)njury result(i)ng from a s(i)ngle occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent should be treated as the cont(i)nuat(i)on of the same case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury, not as new cases. Where more than one person (i)s (i)njured (i)n a s(i)ngle acc(i)dent, each case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury should be counted separately.
Fatal occupat(i)onal (i)njury
13. For measurement purposes, a fatal occupat(i)onal (i)njury (i)s an occupat(i)onal (i)njury lead(i)ng to death w(i)th(i)n one year of the day of the occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent.
T(i)me lost due to occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es
14. T(i)me lost should be measured separately for each case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury lead(i)ng to temporary (i)ncapac(i)ty for work of a max(i)mum of one year. In order to assess the sever(i)ty of the (i)njury, t(i)me lost should be measured (i)n terms of the number of calendar days dur(i)ng wh(i)ch the (i)njured person (i)s temporar(i)ly (i)ncapac(i)tated, based on the (i)nformat(i)on ava(i)lable at the t(i)me the stat(i)st(i)cs are comp(i)led. If (i)t (i)s measured (i)n workdays, attempts should be made to assess the total number of calendar days lost.
15. The t(i)me lost should be measured (i)nclus(i)vely from the day after the day of the acc(i)dent, to the day pr(i)or to the day of return to work. In the case of recurrent absences due to a s(i)ngle case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury, each per(i)od of absence should be measured as above, and the result(i)ng number of days lost for each per(i)od summed to arr(i)ve at the total for the case of (i)njury. Temporary absences from work of less than one day for med(i)cal treatment should not be (i)ncluded (i)n t(i)me lost.
16. The t(i)me lost as a result of permanent (i)ncapac(i)ty for work or fatal occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es may also be est(i)mated. In these cases, the data should be comp(i)led and d(i)ssem(i)nated separately from data relat(i)ng to temporary (i)ncapac(i)ty for work.
Reference per(i)od and per(i)od(i)c(i)ty
17. For a g(i)ven reference per(i)od, the stat(i)st(i)cs should relate to the number of cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njury occurr(i)ng dur(i)ng the per(i)od and the total t(i)me lost as a result of those cases of (i)njury. Cases of fatal (i)njury should be (i)ncluded (i)n the stat(i)st(i)cs for the reference per(i)od dur(i)ng wh(i)ch the occupat(i)onal acc(i)dent occurred.
18. The stat(i)st(i)cs should be comp(i)led at least once a year for a reference per(i)od of not more than a year. Where seasonal trends may be cons(i)dered to be (i)mportant, the stat(i)st(i)cs may be comp(i)led more frequently, us(i)ng shorter reference per(i)ods, such as a month or a quarter.
Comparat(i)ve measures
19. In order to perm(i)t mean(i)ngful compar(i)sons of the stat(i)st(i)cs, for example between d(i)fferent per(i)ods, econom(i)c act(i)v(i)t(i)es, reg(i)ons and countr(i)es, account needs to be taken of the d(i)fferences (i)n employment s(i)ze, changes (i)n the number of workers (i)n the reference group, as well as (i)n the hours worked by those (i)n the reference group. A number of rates wh(i)ch take (i)nto account these d(i)fferences may be calculated, (i)nclud(i)ng the follow(i)ng measures, wh(i)ch are among those most useful for compar(i)ng (i)nformat(i)on at both the nat(i)onal and (i)nternat(i)onal levels. The term “workers (i)n the reference group” refers to those workers (i)n the part(i)cular group under cons(i)derat(i)on and covered by the source of the stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es (for example those of a spec(i)f(i)c sex or (i)n a spec(i)f(i)c econom(i)c act(i)v(i)ty, occupat(i)on, reg(i)on, age group, or any comb(i)nat(i)on of these, or those covered by a part(i)cular (i)nsurance scheme).
For each of the measures below, the numerator and the denom(i)nator should have the same coverage. For example, (i)f self-employed persons are covered (i)n the stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es they should also be covered (i)n the denom(i)nator.
- (a) The frequency rate of new cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njury:
Number of new cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njury
dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od
________________________________________ x 1,000,000
Total number of hours worked by workers
(i)n the reference group dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od
Th(i)s may be calculated separately for fatal and non-fatal occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es. Ideally, the denom(i)nator should be the number of hours actually worked by workers (i)n the reference group. If th(i)s (i)s not poss(i)ble, (i)t may be calculated on the bas(i)s of normal hours of work, tak(i)ng (i)nto account ent(i)tlements to per(i)ods of pa(i)d absence from work, such as pa(i)d vacat(i)ons, pa(i)d s(i)ck leave and publ(i)c hol(i)days.
- (b) The (i)nc(i)dence rate of new cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njury:
Number of new cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njury
dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od
_________________________________________ x 1,000
Total number of workers (i)n the reference group
dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od
Th(i)s may be calculated separately for fatal and non-fatal (i)njur(i)es. The number of workers (i)n the reference group should be the average for the reference per(i)od. In calculat(i)ng the average, account should be taken of the hours normally worked by those persons. The number of those work(i)ng part t(i)me should be converted to full-t(i)me equ(i)valents.
- (c) The sever(i)ty rate of new cases of occupat(i)onal (i)njury:
Number of days lost as a result of new cases of
occupat(i)onal (i)njury dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od
_____________________________________ x 1,000,000
Total amount of t(i)me worked by workers (i)n the
reference group dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od
Th(i)s should be calculated only for temporary (i)ncapac(i)ty for work. The amount of t(i)me worked by workers (i)n the reference group should preferably be measured (i)n hours worked.
- (d) Days lost per new case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury:
Med(i)an or mean of the number of days lost for each new case of occupat(i)onal (i)njury dur(i)ng the reference per(i)od.
All the measures may be calculated accord(i)ng to econom(i)c act(i)v(i)ty, occupat(i)on, age group, etc., or any comb(i)nat(i)on of these.
D(i)ssem(i)nat(i)on
20. The stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es that are comp(i)led should be d(i)ssem(i)nated regularly, at least once a year; prel(i)m(i)nary f(i)gures should be released no later than one year after the end of each reference per(i)od. The d(i)ssem(i)nated data should (i)nclude t(i)me ser(i)es, as well as the data for the most recent reference per(i)od. Any rev(i)s(i)ons to f(i)gures released (i)n the past should be clearly (i)nd(i)cated (i)n newly d(i)ssem(i)nated data.
21. Deta(i)led descr(i)pt(i)ons of the sources, concepts, def(i)n(i)t(i)ons and methodology used (i)n collect(i)ng and comp(i)l(i)ng the stat(i)st(i)cs on occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es should be:
- (a) produced and updated to reflect s(i)gn(i)f(i)cant changes;
- (b) d(i)ssem(i)nated by the competent body;
- (c) commun(i)cated to the ILO.
22. In order to promote the comparab(i)l(i)ty of the stat(i)st(i)cs among countr(i)es whose nat(i)onal stat(i)st(i)cal pract(i)ces do not conform closely to the (i)nternat(i)onal standards, the d(i)ssem(i)nated data should be accompan(i)ed by an explanat(i)on of any d(i)vergences from those standards.
23. D(i)ssem(i)nat(i)on may take the form of pr(i)nted publ(i)cat(i)ons, electron(i)c data sets, etc. Where poss(i)ble, the relevant competent author(i)ty should make data ava(i)lable on the Internet, so as to fac(i)l(i)tate analys(i)s by users throughout the world. The stat(i)st(i)cs should be d(i)ssem(i)nated (i)n such a way that the d(i)sclosure of any (i)nformat(i)on relat(i)ng to an (i)nd(i)v(i)dual stat(i)st(i)cal un(i)t, such as a person, household, an establ(i)shment or an enterpr(i)se (i)s not poss(i)ble, unless pr(i)or perm(i)ss(i)on has been obta(i)ned from the (i)nd(i)v(i)dual un(i)ts concerned.
24. Each year, countr(i)es should commun(i)cate to the ILO the stat(i)st(i)cs on occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es (not (i)nclud(i)ng (i)nd(i)v(i)dual cases) requested for d(i)ssem(i)nat(i)on by the ILO (i)n (i)ts Yearbook of Labour Stat(i)st(i)cs and other forms.
Sources of data
25. In comp(i)l(i)ng stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, var(i)ous sources of (i)nformat(i)on should be used (i)n order to prov(i)de as full a p(i)cture as poss(i)ble of the s(i)tuat(i)on at a g(i)ven po(i)nt (i)n t(i)me and to g(i)ve an est(i)mate of any under-report(i)ng wh(i)ch may occur. For example, cons(i)derat(i)on could be g(i)ven to per(i)od(i)cally supplement(i)ng the (i)nformat(i)on ava(i)lable from systems for the not(i)f(i)cat(i)on of compensat(i)on of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es by add(i)ng br(i)ef modules of quest(i)ons to ex(i)st(i)ng survey quest(i)onna(i)res, such as those used for establ(i)shment surveys for employment and wages, and for labour force surveys. In add(i)t(i)on, the feas(i)b(i)l(i)ty of develop(i)ng new sources should be exam(i)ned.
26. Where data from d(i)fferent sources are used together, attempts should be made to ensure that the concepts, def(i)n(i)t(i)ons, coverage and class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons used by the d(i)fferent sources are cons(i)stent. To th(i)s end, (i)t would be useful to establ(i)sh a coord(i)nat(i)ng comm(i)ttee at the nat(i)onal level, compr(i)s(i)ng representat(i)ves of government, other producers of stat(i)st(i)cs on occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, and employers’ and workers’ organ(i)zat(i)ons. In add(i)t(i)on, efforts should be made to harmon(i)ze the stat(i)st(i)cs comp(i)led from d(i)fferent sources and by d(i)fferent bod(i)es.
Class(i)f(i)cat(i)on
27. The data should be class(i)f(i)ed at least accord(i)ng to major branch of econom(i)c act(i)v(i)ty and as far as poss(i)ble accord(i)ng to other s(i)gn(i)f(i)cant character(i)st(i)cs of persons (i)njured, of enterpr(i)ses or establ(i)shments, of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es and of occupat(i)onal acc(i)dents for wh(i)ch (i)nformat(i)on (i)s collected (i)n accordance w(i)th paragraph 9. Countr(i)es should attempt to use class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons that are e(i)ther comparable w(i)th or can be related to the most recent vers(i)ons of the relevant (i)nternat(i)onal class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons, where these ex(i)st. Annexes A to F prov(i)de the most recent vers(i)ons of the (i)nternat(i)onal class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons below, up to the second level, where ava(i)lable. It may however be des(i)rable, for acc(i)dent prevent(i)on purposes, for countr(i)es to class(i)fy the(i)r data at a greater level of deta(i)l.

The ILO should develop and d(i)ssem(i)nate class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons to replace or supplement the ex(i)st(i)ng schemes adopted by the Tenth ICLS (i)n 1962 for the var(i)ables l(i)sted below:
- type of locat(i)on of the acc(i)dent;
- mode of (i)njury;
- mater(i)al agency of (i)njury.
28. The ILO should develop and d(i)ssem(i)nate class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons to replace or supplement the ex(i)st(i)ng schemes adopted by the Tenth ICLS (i)n 1962, for var(i)ables such as those g(i)ven below. Furthermore, the ILO should encourage and help countr(i)es to develop the(i)r own class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons to g(i)ve further (i)nformat(i)on wh(i)ch they can use for the(i)r purposes. For occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es:
- place of occurrence;
- work process;
- spec(i)f(i)c act(i)v(i)ty;
- dev(i)at(i)on;
- mater(i)al agency assoc(i)ated w(i)th the spec(i)f(i)c act(i)v(i)ty or the dev(i)at(i)on. For (i)njur(i)es due to commut(i)ng acc(i)dents:
- place of acc(i)dent;
- (i)njured person’s mode of transport;
- (i)njured person’s transport role; • mode of transport of counterpart.
Further act(i)on
29. The ILO should prepare a manual to prov(i)de techn(i)cal gu(i)dance on the contents of th(i)s resolut(i)on. Th(i)s manual should also cover the collect(i)on of (i)nformat(i)on on occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es (i)n the (i)nformal sector and among ch(i)ld workers, the collect(i)on of (i)nformat(i)on through household surveys and establ(i)shment surveys, the est(i)mat(i)on of under-report(i)ng and of costs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es, the class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons to be developed as recommended (i)n paragraphs 27 and 28, and how they should be appl(i)ed, as well as the establ(i)shment of a mapp(i)ng between ICD-10 and the class(i)f(i)cat(i)ons (i)n Annexes E and F. It should also cooperate, as far as poss(i)ble, w(i)th countr(i)es (i)n the development of stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es by prov(i)d(i)ng techn(i)cal ass(i)stance and tra(i)n(i)ng.
30. Other areas for future work by the ILO (i)nclude:
- (a) develop(i)ng standards for stat(i)st(i)cs of occupat(i)onal d(i)seases; and
- (b) mak(i)ng worldw(i)de est(i)mates of the number of fatal occupat(i)onal (i)njur(i)es.

| 4. | The ICSE-93 cons(i)sts of the follow(i)ng groups, wh(i)ch are def(i)ned (i)n sect(i)on III: |
| 1. | employees; |
| among whom countr(i)es may need and be able to d(i)st(i)ngu(i)sh “employees w(i)th stable contracts” ((i)nclud(i)ng “regular employees”); | |
| 2. | employees; |
| 3. | own-account workers; |
| 4. | members of producers’ cooperat(i)ves; |
| 5. | contr(i)but(i)ng fam(i)ly workers; |
| 6. | workers not class(i)f(i)able by status. |
| III | Group def(i)n(i)t(i)ons |
| 5. | The groups (i)n the ICSE-93 are def(i)ned w(i)th reference to the d(i)st(i)nct(i)on between “pa(i)d employment” jobs on the one s(i)de and “selfemployment” jobs on the other. Groups are def(i)ned w(i)th reference to one or more aspects of the econom(i)c r(i)sk and/or the type of author(i)ty wh(i)ch the expl(i)c(i)t or (i)mpl(i)c(i)t employment contract g(i)ves the (i)ncumbents or to wh(i)ch (i)t subjects them. |
| 6. | Pa(i)d employment jobs are those jobs where the (i)ncumbents hold expl(i)c(i)t (wr(i)tten or oral) or (i)mpl(i)c(i)t employment contracts wh(i)ch g(i)ve them a bas(i)c remunerat(i)on wh(i)ch (i)s not d(i)rectly dependent upon the revenue of the un(i)t for wh(i)ch they work (th(i)s un(i)t can be a corporat(i)on, a non-prof(i)t (i)nst(i)tut(i)on, a government un(i)t or a household). Some or all of the tools, cap(i)tal equ(i)pment, (i)nformat(i)on systems and/or prem(i)ses used by the (i)ncumbents may be owned by others, and the (i)ncumbents may work under d(i)rect superv(i)s(i)on of, or accord(i)ng to str(i)ct gu(i)del(i)nes set by the owner(s) or persons (i)n the owner’s employment. (Persons (i)n “pa(i)d employment jobs” are typ(i)cally remunerated by wages and salar(i)es, but may be pa(i)d by comm(i)ss(i)on from sales, by p(i)ece-rates, bonuses or (i)n-k(i)nd payments such as food, hous(i)ng or tra(i)n(i)ng.) |
| 7. | Self-employment jobs are those jobs where the remunerat(i)on (i)s d(i)rectly dependent upon the prof(i)ts (or the potent(i)al for prof(i)ts) der(i)ved from the goods and serv(i)ces produced (where own consumpt(i)on (i)s cons(i)dered to be part of prof(i)ts). The (i)ncumbents make the operat(i)onal dec(i)s(i)ons affect(i)ng the enterpr(i)se, or delegate such dec(i)s(i)ons wh(i)le reta(i)n(i)ng respons(i)b(i)l(i)ty for the welfare of the enterpr(i)se. (In th(i)s context, “enterpr(i)se” (i)ncludes one-person operat(i)ons.) |
| 8. | 1. Employees are all those workers who hold the type of job def(i)ned as “pa(i)d employment jobs” (cf. paragraph 6). Employees w(i)th stable contracts are those “employees” who have had, and cont(i)nue to have, an expl(i)c(i)t (wr(i)tten or oral) or (i)mpl(i)c(i)t contract of employment, or a success(i)on of such contracts, w(i)th the same employer on a cont(i)nuous bas(i)s. “On a cont(i)nuous bas(i)s” (i)mpl(i)es a per(i)od of employment wh(i)ch (i)s longer than a spec(i)f(i)ed m(i)n(i)mum determ(i)ned accord(i)ng to nat(i)onal c(i)rcumstances. (If (i)nterrupt(i)ons are allowed (i)n th(i)s m(i)n(i)mum per(i)od, the(i)r max(i)mum durat(i)on should also be determ(i)ned accord(i)ng to nat(i)onal c(i)rcumstances.) Regular employees are those “employees w(i)th stable contracts” for whom the employ(i)ng organ(i)zat(i)on (i)s respons(i)ble for payment of relevant taxes and soc(i)al secur(i)ty contr(i)but(i)ons and/or where the contractual relat(i)onsh(i)p (i)s subject to nat(i)onal labour leg(i)slat(i)on. |
