The report provides an overview of the most recent ILO estimates of work-related accidents and diseases, and also summarizes the provisions of the new instruments, as they relate to the building of preventative safety and health cultures, OSH management systems, national OSH systems, programmes and profiles. The report also covers recent ILO technical and international cooperation activities in these and other topic areas.
