The Czech National Registry of Occupational Diseases. Ten years of existence.

The Czech National Registry of Occupational Diseases was founded in 1991 with the intention of restoring the information system on occupational diseases, which had collapsed in 1990, following deep societal changes brought about by the revolution in 1989. During the ten years of its existence, the Czech National Registry of Occupational Diseases proved to be a reliable information system providing valid data on occupational diseases. The completeness and quality of data stored in the Registry are being controlled by trained personnel.
