Data collection, associated analysis and reporting on work-related ill health for 2024 from THOR (The Health and Occupation Reporting Network) schemes (SWORD & EPIDERM)

Central to the prevention of work-related ill-health (WRIH) is the availability of high-quality data which can help inform policy and guidance. Medically diagnosed case reports of WRIH collected from across the UK by The Health and Occupational Research (THOR) network are the HSE's preferred source of data for a number of medical conditions including respiratory diseases such as occupational asthma and skin diseases such as contact dermatitis. This document outlines the proposal to extend data collection for one year (until end of 2024) for the THOR network (SWORD and EPIDERM) and reporting of results.
