For e.g. in the United Kingdom, it is estimated that nearly 1.3 million employed people suffer from illnesses that are work related. Every year, the number of working days that are lost due to work related illnesses and injuries count to the millions. Each year, the injuries reported are more than 70,000 and around 150 workers lose their life due to accidents and injuries happening in workplaces.
