OBJECTIVE: Occupational @entity3329 are a worldwide problem. Certain occupations pose a greater risk than others. Recent statistics on global @entity5281 and diseases that might lead to @entity2319 and even worse might lead to @entity204 , are staggering. The purpose of this study was to estimate the @entity204 rates from @entity5281 in Jordan over a period of four years; to estimate occupational fatality rate that results from @entity130 and identify the most risky concurrent occupations with the type of @entity130 , the age and nationality of the victims. METHOD: A total of 88 work related @entity3329 were admitted to three hospitals in Amman through 2008-2012 and were examined by a forensic (occupational) physician at the time. They were categorized according to, age, nationality, occupation, @entity130 and were all tested for toxic substances. RESULTS: The occupation with the most @entity3329 was construction (44%); falling from a height was the commonest type of accident (44%) and @entity542 were the leading injury type (21.6%); 9.1% of the @entity204 were positive for @entity167 . Moreover, 22.7% of @entity204 were between ages of 25-29. Consequently, the mean occupational fatality rate was 2 per 100.000 workers during 2008-2012. CONCLUSION: Constructions and other types of occupations are more extensive problems than what is usually anticipated, especially when safety precautions are not effective or implemented. They may cause @entity130 and @entity204 , which will have a socioeconomic burden on families, society, governments and industries. Not to mention the grief that is associated with the @entity204 of a worker at his work site to all concerned parties.
