A total of 1,370 cases of occupation-related diseases in 1,117 workers were reported in the Czech Republic in 2017. Of these, 1,278 were occupational diseases and 92 cases were given the status of “endangerment by an occupational disease”. The incidence of occupational diseases was 29.6 cases per 100,000 health insured employees in the public sector. Most of the occupational diseases occurred in the Moravian-Silesian region (473 cases, i.e. 34.5%). Most of the recognized cases occurred in the “manufacture of motor vehicles” economic sector (213 cases, i.e. 15.5%). Carpal tunnel syndrome (472 cases, i.e. 36.9%) and contact allergic dermatitis (131 cases, i.e. 10.3%) were the most frequently reported occupational diseases. Among the cases reported as “endangerment by an occupational disease”, the carpal tunnel syndrome predominated (66 cases, i.e. 71.7%)
