PDO and contractors have a responsibility to report and maintain records of occupational illnesses. An occupational illness is defined as a work related abnormal condition or disorder (except any caused by a work injury), which is caused or mainly caused by exposure to health hazards at work.

The Total Reportable Occupational Illness Frequency (TROIF) is the sum of all occupational illnesses whether or not they have resulted in deaths, permanent total disabilities, permanent partial disabilities, lost workday cases, or restricted workday cases per million working hours during the reporting period.

PDO has a TROIF target of 4.6 for 2006 which does not include the contracting community. For further information on occupational health performance, see the reports below:-
