Fatal Occupational injuries in Taiwan: 1994-2005
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 11/04/09

Ho S–C et al. – Overall fatal occupational injury rates declined during the study periods among all demographic groups and occupations. Adjusted annual changes in rates of fatal injuries ranged from a decline of 13.6% a year in machine operators/related workers to a decline of 35.9% in clerks. The annual decrement was faster for males than for females and for older workers compared to young workers. Despite declining rates, the number of fatal occupational injuries in Taiwan remains significant because of its growing workforce. Disparities in fatal injury trends provide prime targets for further attention.
