Chem
a. The abbreviations used are: C, compensation-based reporting mechanism (CBRM); C+,
compensation-based reporting mechanism with additional insurance benefit for individual prevention, medical rehabilitation and health education; M, medical-practice-based reporting mechanism
(MBRM); O, OSH-Act-based reporting mechanism (OBRM)
b. The number of compensated/reported occupational illness comes from yearly statistics on OII of each reporting mechanism. The detailed data-releasing websites are listed in Table 5-1. The number of employed persons comes from labour statistics of ILO. Due to inconsistent disease categorization in the released data, there may be minor misclassification between disease categories
c. Due to data limitation, the number in each disease category is approximated by multiplying total number of confirmed cases with disease distribution of suspected cases
d. MBRM in UK and OBRM in US rely on sampling and estimation, rather than counting all the cases

a. The abbreviations used are: C, compensation-based reporting mechanism (CBRM); M,
medical-practice-based reporting mechanism (MBRM); O, OSH-Act-based reporting mechanism (OBRM); 4+ Days/1+Weeks, 4+ Days/1+Weeks incapability threshold; NA, incapability threshold not defined as days
b. The number of compensated/reported occupational injury comes from yearly statistics on OII of each reporting mechanism. The detailed data-releasing websites are listed in Table 5-1. The number of employed persons comes from labour statistics of ILO. Statistics on occupational injury from Japan’s CBRM is only available in 2012 and 2015.
c. OBRM in Australia is limited to reporting of occupational fatalities

b. CBRM in UK is more like allowance and applies to all workers
