In 2012, there were about 2.3 million deaths worldwide attributed to work. The highest workplace fatality rate (WFR) was reported on construction sites due to high risk activities. Globally, fall from height is the leading cause of fatal injuries for construction workers. The objectives are to determine Brunei Darussalam's demographic distribution of occupational fatality; identify causal agents and industry where occupational fatalities commonly occur; and determine WFR by year. This cross-sectional study retrospectively reviewed records of occupational fatality which were notified to the Occupational Health Division, Ministry of Health, from January 2012 until December 2016. Notified occupational fatalities in Brunei over a five-year period was 50. Most of the cases were in 31-40 age group. 38% of fatality cases occurred in Indonesian workers. 60% were from the Construction industry. 38% were due to fall from height. WFR averaged 5.28 and the highest industry-specific fatality rate was seen in the Construction industry, ranging from 27.94 to 56.45 per 100,000 workers. WFR for Brunei Darussalam from 2012 to 2016 was similar to that of Malaysia, but higher than Singapore and the UK. Industry-specific fatality rate for the Construction and Manufacturing industries were higher than those of Singapore and the UK.
2012年，全球约有230万人死于工作相关原因。由于存在高风险活动，建筑工地上的工作场所死亡率（WFR）最高。在全球范围内，高处坠落是建筑工人致命伤的主要原因。研究目的是确定文莱达鲁萨兰国职业死亡的人口分布情况；找出职业死亡的致病因素和常见发生行业；并按年份确定工作场所死亡率。这项横断面研究回顾了2012年1月至2016年12月期间通报给卫生部职业健康司的职业死亡记录。文莱在五年期间通报的职业死亡人数为50人。大多数病例发生在31 - 40岁年龄组。38%的死亡病例发生在印度尼西亚工人中。60%来自建筑业。38%是由于高处坠落。工作场所死亡率平均为5.28，建筑业的行业特定死亡率最高，每10万名工人中从27.94到56.45不等。2012年至2016年文莱达鲁萨兰国的工作场所死亡率与马来西亚相似，但高于新加坡和英国。建筑业和制造业的行业特定死亡率高于新加坡和英国。
