III. GENERAL ASSESSMENT OF THE OA SITUATION AND THE INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING OF OAs IN THE FORMAL EMPLOYMENT SECTOR

1. OA situation in the first 6 months of 2023 compared to the first 6 months of 2022

In the first 6 months of 2023, within the formal employment sector, the number of OA cases decreased, the total number of victims decreased, the number of fatal cases decreased, and the number of fatalities decreased, but the number of serious injuries increased (Details in Table 1 above).

2. Occupational accident investigation situation

– Most OA cases were reported and investigated according to regulations. However, some localities were slow in sending investigation reports to the Ministry of Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs; the number of received reports only accounted for 24.8% of the total fatal OA cases;

– In the first 6 months of 2023, provinces such as Lang Son, Lao Cai, Dien Bien, Binh Duong, Hanoi, Tuyen Quang, Quang Ninh… were localities that submitted OA investigation reports promptly as required to the Ministry of Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs for consolidation and monitoring.

3. Quality of occupational accident reporting in the first 6 months of 2023

– In the first 6 months of 2023, 63/63 localities submitted reports on the OA situation as stipulated in Decree No. 39/2016/ND-CP dated May 15, 2016, of the Government;

– The reporting rate from enterprises to the provincial Departments of Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs remains low. In the first 6 months of 2023, only about 6.55% of enterprises reported on their OA situation. The number of enterprises complying with OA reporting is insufficient. Therefore, consolidating and evaluating the nationwide OA situation still faces many difficulties.

4. Material damage

According to preliminary data from local reports, the material damage from OAs in the first 6 months of 2023 is as follows: costs for medicine, funerals, compensation for families of the deceased and the injured, etc., amounted to over 5,625 billion VND (an increase of about 3,176 billion VND compared to the first 6 months of 2022); property damage was over 701 billion VND (an increase of about 685 billion VND compared to the first 6 months of 2022); the total number of workdays lost due to occupational accidents was over 76,636 days (an increase of about 28,057 days compared to the first 6 months of 2022).

Part II: OA SITUATION FOR WORKERS IN THE INFORMAL EMPLOYMENT SECTOR

I. OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENT SITUATION

According to reports from 63/63 provinces and centrally-run cities, there were 270 OA cases nationwide affecting 273 workers in the informal employment sector, of which:

– Number of fatal OA cases: 72 cases;

– Number of fatalities: 72 people;

– Number of serious injuries: 69 people;

(Details in Appendix IV).

Localities with the highest number of occupational accident fatalities in the first 6 months of 2023 include: Ha Noi, Gia Lai, Bac Lieu.

According to statistical data, the OA situation in the first 6 months of 2023 compared to the first 6 months of 2022 is as follows:

No.	Statistical Indicator	First 6 months 2022	First 6 months 2023	Increase (+) / Decrease (-)
1	Number of cases	390	270	-120 (-30.77%)
2	Number of victims	417	273	-144 (-34.53%)
3	Number of fatal cases	74	72	-02 (-2.70%)
4	Number of fatalities	81	72	-09 (-11.11%)
5	Number of serious injuries	118	69	-49 (-41.53%)

Table 2: Comparison of the OA situation in the first 6 months of 2023 and the first 6 months of 2022 in the informal employment sector.

II. SITUATION OF OA INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING QUALITY IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2023

In the first 6 months of 2023, the investigation of OAs in the informal sector has not been fully implemented according to legal regulations. The creation of OA records for workers without labor contracts by Commune-level People’s Committees is still very limited.

All 63/63 provinces and centrally-run cities have reported OA statistics for workers in the informal sector as stipulated in Decree No. 39/2016/ND-CP dated May 15, 2016, of the Government; of these, 33 localities reported OAs, and 30 localities reported no OAs (details in Appendix IV).

Part III: KEY SOLUTIONS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS OF 2023

Based on the situation and causes of OAs in the first 6 months of 2023, to proactively prevent and limit OAs in the coming time, the Ministry of Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs requests that ministries, sectors, localities, enterprises, organizations, employers, and employees pay attention to implementing the following key contents:
