Of those, 7,383 were occupational diseases and 56 cases were given the status of “endangerment by an occupational disease”. The incidence of occupational diseases was 157.6 cases per 100,000 health-insured employees in the public sector. Most of the occupational diseases occurred in the Olomouc region (1,465 cases, i.e. 19.7%) and Moravian- Silesian region (977 cases, i.e. 13.1%). Most of the recognized cases occurred in the economic sector Q “Health and Social Care” (CZ-NACE Q86-88 – a total of 6,752 cases, i.e. 90.8%).
