Abstract

Occupational exposures contribute substantially to morbidity and mortality worldwide1,2 and are of pivotal importance for sick leave, disability and preterm exit from the labour market regardless of the aetiology of disease.3,4 Premature exit from the labour market is becoming more important as increasing life expectancy is calling for an extension of working life into older ages.5 To comply with demands for knowledge on occupational determinants for maintaining a healthy workforce, there is a need for building large nationwide databases that integrate prospective data on occupational exposures, with data on health, work participation and labour market exits.
