A total of 1,297 cases of occupation-related diseases in 1,051 workers were reported in the Czech Republic in 2016. Of these, 1,242 were occupational diseases and 55 cases were given the status of “endangerment by an occupational disease”. The incidence of occupational diseases was 28.6 cases per 100,000 health insured employees in the public sector. Most of the occupational diseases occurred in the Moravian-Silesian region (386 cases, i.e. 29.8%). Most of the recognized cases occurred in the “health and social care” economic sector (195 cases, i.e. 15.0%). Carpal tunnel syndrome (409 cases, i.e. 32.9%) and contact allergic dermatitis (159 cases, i.e. 12.8%) were the most frequently reported occupational diseases. Among the cases reported as endangerment by an occupational disease, the carpal tunnel syndrome predominated (43 cases, i.e. 78.2%).
