Definitions of occupational diseases According to the Protocol of 2002 to the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No.

155), the term occupational disease covers any disease contracted as a result of an exposure to risk factors arising from work activity. The ILO Employment Injury Benefits Recommendation, 1964 (No. 121), Paragraph 6(1), defines occupational diseases in the following terms: Each Member should, under prescribed conditions, regard diseases known to arise out of the exposure to substances and dangerous conditions in processes, trades or occupations as occupational diseases. Two main elements are present in the definition of an occupational disease: The causal relationship between exposure in a specific working environment or work activity and a specific disease; and The fact that the disease occurs among a group of exposed persons with a frequency above the average morbidity of the rest of the population
