Abstract Introduction An example scorecard was developed by WHO to provide an overview of the “ideal” indicator values that countries should aim to achieve. Occupational health is among these indicators. Methods Based on the data of the Federal Service for Labor and Employment, a review of the achievement of the proposed indicators in the field of occupational health was carried out. Results The working-age population in Russia in 2022 was 83.23 million, 71.97 million were employed in the formal sector of the economy. Sufficient part of the population was still employed in the informal sector. 1.1% of workers had working week more than 51 hours. About 10 million Russians worked in areas with harmful working conditions. 2.0 out of 100000 people of working age died from injuries due to occupational risks and 1 (less than) out of 100000 died from occupational diseases. Discussion Data on occupational injuries can be considered quite reliable. But considering the number of jobs in harmful and dangerous working conditions there is still underestimation of the occupational diseases, primarily those with a long latent period. Conclusion Estimation of the prevalence of occupational diseases is an essential factor determining the planning of measures to protect the health of the working population. Currently, work is underway to integrate this indicator into the intensively developing unified state information system in the field of healthcare and vertically integrated medical information systems for certain types of diseases which will include data not only related the patient’s health statute, but also employment history and working conditions.
