Submitted by dfabbri on

 Business Standard News (28.04.2019) Every year more than 2.78 million people die as a result of occupational accidents or work-related diseases, a recent ILO report said. In addition, there are around 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries and illnesses each year, many of these resulting in extended absences from work. The human cost of this adversity is vast and the economic burden of poor occupational safety and health practices is estimated at 3.94 per cent of global Gross Domestic Product each year.
