It is measured by an excess mortality index 3★. The study of differences in the death rates of specific occupations is called the study of occupational mortality 4. In a rather different sense the term occupational mortality 5 may refer to the mortality from hazards associated with a particular occupation. Among these, we may mention occupational diseases 6.
