Globally, ILO estimates 374 million non-fatal and 380,500 fatal by occupational accidents annually. Slips, trips, falls and contact with objects are the leading mode of injury, with extremities being the most common body part involved. Occupational accidents are of major concern for high risk occupational groups such as migrant workers, or work areas e.g. construction, manufacturing, wholesale, and retail industries. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of non-fatal occupational injuries and its trends among industry workers in Brunei Darussalam. A retrospective cross-sectional review of occupational accidents notified to the Occupational Health Division, Ministry of Health, over a five-year period from January 2014 until December 2018 was conducted. A total of 424 non-fatal occupational accidents were notified, with increasing trend from 44 in 2014 to 132 in 2018. Accidents were more common in males (98%), migrant workers (86%), in the 30–39 age group (42.5%), and in the construction industry (56.4%). Struck by object (37.7%) was the commonest cause and upper limb (43.9%) was the commonest body part involved. There is a need for workplaces to develop capabilities and support mechanisms for risk assessments, as well as auditing and reviewing performances to minimize occurrence of preventable occupational injuries.

文莱达鲁萨兰国的非致命职业事故

在全球范围内,国际劳工组织估计每年有 3.74 亿非致命和 380,500 人死于职业事故。滑倒、绊倒、跌倒和接触物体是主要的伤害方式,四肢是最常见的身体部位。工伤事故是高风险职业群体(如农民工)或工作领域(如建筑、制造、批发和零售业)的主要关注点。本研究旨在确定文莱达鲁萨兰国工业工人中非致命职业伤害的流行情况及其趋势。对从 2014 年 1 月到 2018 年 12 月的五年期间向卫生部职业卫生司通报的职业事故进行了回顾性横断面审查。共通报非致命性职业事故424起,从 2014 年的 44 起增加到 2018 年的 132 起。事故发生在男性(98%)、农民工(86%)、30-39 岁年龄段(42.5%)和建筑行业(56.4%) )。物体撞击 (37.7%) 是最常见的原因,上肢 (43.9%) 是最常见的身体部位。工作场所需要发展风险评估的能力和支持机制,以及审计和审查绩效,以尽量减少可预防的职业伤害的发生。
