A new Italian surveillance system for occupational injuries: Characteristics and initial results

Abstract

It is finally possible to describe injuries based on some main characteristics of the recent changes in the labor market, such as precarization, ageing of workers, migration, that databases currently available in Italy do not allow. The sample is longitudinal and can contribute to describing the development of the phenomena over time. The Ministry of Health is completing procedures to extend the sample and to increase the health outcomes for which a follow-up is available.
