> Two million workers die each year due to accidents and illness caused by
> workplace-related hazards including chemicals, accidents and stress, the
> International Labor Organization reports. The annual toll includes 12,000
> children, according to the report issued for the annual World Congress on
> Occupational Safety & Health at Work, now underway in Vienna. Agriculture, which
> employs more than half of the world's workers, claims more than 50% of
> occupational fatalities, injuries and diseases, the report said. Construction,
> logging, fishing and mining are also among the most hazardous industries. The
> overall toll has clearly risen since 1990. The biggest killer in the workplace
> is cancer, causing about 640,000 or 32% of deaths. It is followed by circulatory
> diseases (23%), accidents (19%), communicable diseases (17%) and respiratory
> diseases (7%). Hazardous substances kill 340,000 workers each year, with
> asbestos alone claiming about 100,000 lives. (Reuters, May 24)
