Abstract
Data collected by the Italian Funds for Occupational Injuries and Diseases (INAIL) on incidence and mortality of occupational injuries in Italy during 1951–2001 are described with respect to the two main occupational sectors, Industry and Services, and Agriculture, Comparisons with other EU countries are included to place the current severe phenomenon in context. An ad hoc analysis aimed at verifying the completeness of the data on occupational fatal accidents collected by INAIL in Tuscany is reported: a linkage between the INML data and those registered by the Tuscan. Regional Mortality Registry highlights that a number of working areas are not covered by INAIL, a problem whose solution would be useful for primary prevention.
