Occupational Illnesses (OI7060)

This metric is intended to capture the number of work-related illnesses arising from exposure to hazards at work. If the same employee experienced more than one occupational illness, each instance of illness should be counted.

This metric is sourced from GRI Disclosure 403-10: Work-related Ill Health in GRI 403: Occupational Health and Safety 2018. Per GRI guidance, ‘Ill health’ indicates damage to health and includes diseases, illnesses, and disorders. The terms ‘disease,’ ‘illness,’ and ‘disorder,’ often used interchangeably, refer to conditions with specific symptoms and diagnoses. Work-related injuries and ill health are those that arise from exposure to hazards at work. Other types of incidents can occur that are not connected with the work itself. For more guidance, see GRI Disclosure 403-10 (https://www.globalreporting.org/standards/media/1910/gri-403-occupational-health-and-safety-2018.pdf).
