The Face of Decent Work
01 December 1999
Every day, 6,300 people die as a result of occupational accidents or work-related diseases - more than 2.3 million deaths per year. Over 337 million accidents occur on the job annually; many of these resulting in extended absences from work. The human cost of this daily adversity is vast and the economic burden of poor occupational safety and health practices is estimated at 4 per cent of global Gross Domestic Product each year.

The SafeWork programme of the International Labour Organization reaches out to people in the most hazardous occupations to help them make their workplace a decent and safe place to work.
