Recognized and suspectedoccupational diseases in Finland in2012

New cases notified to the Finnish Register ofOccupational Diseases by insurance companiesand Farmer's Social Insurance Institution - Mela


For the fifth time in 2012, the numbersof recognized and suspected caseshave been presented separately.


Due to changes in the notification andrecognition practises, the data of2005-2012 are not comparable withthe previous figures of FROD andtrends of occupational diseases cannot therefore be assessed.
