Objective:
to analyze occupational injuries and illness trends in Colombia for the period 1994 to 2016.
Material and Methods:
descriptive-analytic and longitudinal study from 1994 to 2016. Occupational injuries and illness incidence rates and variations in the frequency of such events are calculated. Additionally, a time series was constructed to establish the trend of the accidents at work and its forecast for the next five years.
Results:
the frequency of occupational injuries is increasing annually by 8.6% approximately. Average occupational diseases rate is 60 cases per 100,000 workers. Finally, approximately 725,000 annual occupational injuries cases are projected.
Conclusions:
Colombia needs to improve its information system for occupational injuries and illness. Longitudinal monitoring of these events will allow comparison with other countries and become an input to the national framework for the promotion of occupational safety and health.
