In 2013, about 55,000 workers in Ireland reported work-related illnesses, with MSDs (musculoskeletal disorders) being a primary factor, contributing to a substantial portion of the 790,000 total days lost due to work-related illnesses that year. The average length of absence due to MSDs was around 15.9 days, supporting the estimated figure when scaled across the workforce.
