Further, 1.8 million are suffering from a work-related illness, of which 914,000 are suffering from stress, depression or anxiety, 477,000 are suffering from a musculoskeletal disorder and 123,000 are suffering from Covid-19 which they believe may have been from exposure to Coronavirus at work.
Some 13,000 deaths each year are estimated to be linked to past exposure at work, primarily to chemicals or dust.
