Introduction
Since 2005, after changes in Health insurance act, there is no reliable data on occupational injuries in Serbia. Till 2005 Serbia had about 23 000 registered occupational injuries per year incidence rate per 100.000 employed was 2001-1318, 2002-1280, 2003-1144, 2004-1278, 2005-1148). After introduced legislative changes in 2005 the number of registered occupational injuries sharply declined. Data from Serbian OSHA indicate that there is about 1000 injuries per year, Serbian labor inspection about 3000 and Health insurance between 16000 and 19000. In 2009-2010 Serbian Ministry of Health financed development of new model for occupational injuries registration.

Methods
First phase of project was problem analysis. During this phase data on problems in occupational injuries registration has been collected. In the second phase a new model has been developed. During third phase web based software has been produced. The fourth phase was testing of software and promotion of new concept among stake holders. And fifth phase is pilot study in two Serbian cities scheduled for 2012. The full implementation of software is scheduled for 2013.

Results
New concept for registration of occupational injuries includes several major changes comparing to actual one. The whole process of registration is started by doctor who first saw the injured worker. Based on workers statement that the injury is occupational one doctor has to fill a short web based form and to give a printout with unique injury ID number to injured worker. In the second phase, the employer has to log on to system by entering unique injury ID provided by doctor and to fill his part of form.

Discussion
New concept offers enormous possibilities for data analysis. A number of reports could be automatically generated and all stake holders could have daily reports of their interest.
