Abstract

Occupational injury is an issue that needs to be considered in reducing the problems of disability and death in the
workplace. Healthy and high-productivity workers are one of the important factors that are important to the economic
growth of a country. This study aims to identify the trend of disability for employees covered by the Employment Injury
Scheme under the Social Security Organization Malaysia (SOCSO) for the years 2009-2013. Based on the descriptive
analysis, 80% of the total numbers of workers who suffer injury or death in the workplace are male employees. In
addition, workers aged 25 and above are more prone to injury and death associated with work. The results showed that
socio-demographic factors such as gender and age, as well as level of disability are several important factors that need
to be considered in identifying the trend of disability among employees.
