    2. Accidents: Work accidents, while less frequent than diseases, still represent a significant risk, particularly in high-hazard sectors such as agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. These sectors account for a large proportion of fatal injuries.
    3. Demographic Disparities: Men are disproportionately affected, with a mortality rate of 51.4 per 100,000 working-age adults, compared to 17.2 for women. The Asia-Pacific region has the highest work-related mortality, accounting for 63% of global deaths due to its large workforce.
