In collaboration with the Occupational Cancer Research Centre, WSN is examining occupational disease patterns across key industry groups. The research compares the number of reported occupational disease cases among workers in each industry with cases among workers in other sectors, using data from the Occupational Disease Surveillance System.
The industry groups examined include metal mines, non-metal mines, quarries and sandpits, and services incidental to mining.
