Recognized and suspected occupational diseases in Finland in 2011

New cases notified to the Finnish Register of Occupational Diseases by insurance companies

and Farmer's Social Insurance Institution - Mela


For the fourth time in 2011, the numbers of recognized and suspected cases have been presented separately.


Due to changes in the notification and recognition practises, the data of 2005-2011 are not comparable with the previous figures of FROD and trends of occupational diseases can not therefore be assessed.
