摘要

BackgroundIn 2001 a National Registry of Occupational Diseases was founded in Bulgaria which introduced a new system of reporting and recording Occupational illness into practice. In 2009 more than 400,000 people in Bulgaria were recorded with permanent disability, a lot of them representing victims of Occupational illness or injury. The intention of our present study was to analyze the frequency and type of different Occupational diseases over the last decade, and to determine which types of employment represent the greatest Occupational hazards to the employees’ health and safety.
