The collection, recording and notification of data on work accidents and occupational diseases are essential for formulating evidence-based occupational safety and health policies and setting priorities and targets for preventive action. However, Moldova is facing major challenges of under-reporting of non-fatal work accidents and the national register system of occupational diseases.

This report, conducted by the ILO, reviews the current legislative and institutional framework and the reporting and notification system of work accidents and occupational diseases in Moldova. It analyses the extent of under-reporting, its reasons and consequences. Based on these findings, the report provides recommendations for the improvement of the reporting and recording systems of work accidents and occupational diseases in Moldova.
