Definition: Temporary occupational disease

Category: Living conditions

Temporary occupational disease are cases which were compensated for sick-leave for the first time and where no permanent degree of disability has been settled during the reference year; it is considered that cases with at least 4 days or more sick leave (> 3days) are more comparable between the various national systems; the "mild temporary diseases" with sick leaves not higher than 3 days are also included in the data but could be excluded to the analysis when necessary.
