While the number of accidents (at work and on the way to work) has increased, the number of occupational diseases has decreased compared to 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The increase in accidents is mainly due to a higher number of sports accidents among students (+4,531), as school activities such as field trips, ski lessons, hikes and sports weeks resumed after the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the accidents at work in 2023 occurred in the \u201cManufacturing\u201d sector (18,098), construction (15,675), where accidents are relatively common, and retail trade (13,318).<\/p>\n<p>Of the cases of occupational disease, 64.1% were due to infectious diseases, including 1,801 cases of Covid-19. This still high figure shows that the pandemic continues to have an impact on the world of work. The other recognised diseases were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noise induced hearing loss: 22.9<\/li>\n<li>Asbestos-related diseases: 3.3<\/li>\n<li>Skin diseases: 2.5<\/li>\n<li>Respiratory diseases caused by irritant or toxic chemical substances: 2.3%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By 2023, AUVA says it will have invested more than \u20ac77 million in accident prevention and advice for small businesses.
