Also mentioned are asthmogens, carcinogens, ergonomic risk factors and noise.<\/p>\n<p>A disproportionate number of work-related deaths occur among workers in South-East Asia and the Western Pacific, as well as among men and people over the age of 54.<\/p>\n<p>The joint WHO\/ILO report points out that the total burden of work-related disease is likely to be much higher. Indeed, the deterioration in health attributable to other occupational risk factors has not yet been quantified. In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will need to be taken into account in future estimates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/about-the-ilo\/newsroom\/news\/WCMS_819803\/lang--fr\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the first estimates by the WHO and the ILO, 1.9 million people in the world died in the workplace in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":25280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[907],"class_list":["post-29067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
