Purpose of ReviewBurden of occupational disease estimation contributes to understanding of both magnitude and relative importance of different occupational hazards and provides essential information for targeting risk reduction. This review summarises recent key findings and discusses their impact on occupational regulation and practice.Recent FindingsNew methods have been developed to estimate burden of occupational disease that take account of the latency of many chronic diseases and allow for exposure trends and workforce turnover. Results from these studies have shown in several countries and globally that, in spite of improvements in workplace technology, practices and exposures over the last decades, occupational hazards remain an important cause of ill health and mortality worldwide.SummaryMajor data gaps have been identified particularly regarding exposure information. Reliable data on employment and disease are also lacking especially in developing countries. Burden of occupational disease estimates form an important part of decision-making processes.

“…Nordic studies have estimated that 3 -4 % of the total mortality in the population is work-related (5,6), and that with no occupational exposure 20 % of lung cancer cases among Norwegian men could be avoided, as could 85 % of mesothelioma cases and 32 % of the cases of cancer in the nose and sinuses (7,8).…”

“…With the indirect approach, PAFs for cardiovascular outcomes attributed to occupational stress have been derived for the United States (Steenland et al 2003), Finland (Nurminen and Karjalainen 2001), Korea (Ha et al 2011), and France (Sultan-Taïeb et al 2011). For Sweden, PAFs in relation to several diseases were calculated by Järvholm et al (2013). Here, with respect to job strain and myocardial infarction, calculations with the direct approach were based on a population-based case reference study (Peter et al 2002).…”
