Abstract		Occupational injuries are, apart from occupational diseases, the most significant negative indications of general health. Keeping track of occupational injuries is important for assessing the current situation of occupational health and safety and for planning preventive measures in order to improve the general health. Work injuries are a reliable source of information, because the occurrence of an injury is always connecied to an event (accident) and the causality is not difficult to establish. The need for relevant data is even more important today, when the labor market in the EU is opening, as occupational injuries are indicators of how much care and attention are put into occupational health and safety by individual EU members. Work injuries play a significant socioeconomic role in the society. They cause absence from work, less productivity, lost wagers, they increase health costs, increase the cost of professional rehabilitation, they can cause disablement or even loss of life. The consequences of a work injury can be severe for the individual, his family, his employer and the society.
Summary		Poškodbe pri delu so poleg poklicnih bolezni najpomembnejši negativni kazalnik zdravstvenega stanja. Pomembne so za spremljanje trenutnega stanja varnosti in zdravja pri delu in za načrtovanje preventivnih aktivnosti, s katerimi bi lahko izboljšali zdravstveno stanje. Poškodbe pri delu je mogoče zanesljivo spremljati, saj je njihov nastanek vedno povezan z dogodkom-nezgodo, ki je to poškodbo povzročil in je vzročno povezavo mogoče najti. Potreba po primerljivih podatkih je danes ob odpiranju trga delovne sile zaradi članstva v Evropski uniji izredno pomembna, saj so poškodbe pri delu tudi eden od kazalnikov, kolikšno skrb in pozornost namenjajo posamezne države varnosti in zdravju na delovnem mestu . Poškodbe na delu imajo socialnomedicinski in družbenoekonomski pomen, ker povzročajo odsotnost z dela in s tem manjšo produktivnost na delu, pogosto invalidnost, celo izgubo življenja, izplačilo nadomestila namesto plače, stroške zdravljenja, medicinske in poklicne rehabilitacije in druge negativne posledice za posameznika, njegovo družino, delovno organizacijo in družbo v celoti.
