Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
Summary of Findings
Diseases of the heart and circulatory system were the most commonly compensated diseases. Infectious diseases ranked second while 3rd are diseases referable to the genitourinary system
Diseases of the circulatory system were mostly seen among workers in the professional group as well as among teachers
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
Summary of Findings
Most common injuries compensated: Vehicular accidents and pedestrian injuries
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
DISCUSSION
The survey was able to produce two significant outputs:
1. Distribution of occupational disorders and injuries in government workers by office and by occupation 2010-2012
information on prevalent or frequently claimed diseases and accidents
type of industry or sector would carry the possibility of increased risk to a particular diseases or injury
Basis for health promotional and preventive programs
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
DISCUSSION
2. Second database generated for compensated claims of government (the first: 1994-1996)
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
DISCUSSION
Diseases of the circulatory system were mostly seen among workers in the professional group specific exposures?
lifestyle-related factors?
OSH and health promotion programs?
While the database puts into sharper focus some current safety and health issues of government workers Inadequate occupational exposure data for risk
assessments
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
Policy Recommendations
Inclusion of exposure data/information to facilitate validation / assessment / determination of work-relatedness of diseases
Imperative since many diseases may be caused by multiple factors (both occupational and non-occupational factors)
Integral in quality assurance
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
Policy Recommendations
Establish policies to push for installation of health promotion and OSH programs in the public sector
CSC MC and other issuances not responsive
(OSHC and multisectoral committees have been initiated to engage CSC to issue OSH guidelines for public sector )
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
Policy Recommendations
Use of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) version 10 in recording the diagnosis of diseases and injuries Standardized classification to facilitate
epidemiological inferences (mortality and morbidity data, trends, etc.), for efficient health care management, allocation of resources, monitoring and evaluation, research, primary care, prevention and treatment
Facilitates comparison of data among organizations, sectors and countries in a consistent and standard way
Department of Labor and Employment
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CENTER
Specific Recommendations
Compensated diseases be made distinct from the database for the benefits being received by the claimant
Multiple claims for a single disease is noted for individuals who may be receiving medical reimbursement several times in a year or those who are receiving other benefits that released several times in a year
Thank You!
