Occupational injuries remain an important but under-recognised cause of preventable mortality, disability, and economic loss, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where large proportions of the workforce are employed in informal and high-risk occupations.

The Centre is expanding its research programme to generate evidence on occupational injuries across diverse work environments, identify opportunities for prevention, and strengthen policies that protect worker health and safety.

Our priorities include:

• Injury surveillance in formal and informal sectors
• Agricultural and construction injuries
• Occupational road traffic injuries
• Heat stress and climate-related occupational injuries
• Workplace safety policies and implementation
• Occupational injury burden and economic impact
