Demographic explosion is a sharp acceleration in world population, mainly owing to growth in developing countries, advancement of medicine and overall life safety. 35-40 thousand years ago on our planet there were only about 1 million of our kind. Since then, world population increased by thousands of times. Achievements of occupational safety established good dynamics in saving lives of workers. The first attempt to assess the population dynamics and to answer question whether the Earth is capable to feed everyone living on it, is connected with the name of English scientist Thomas Robert Malthus. The first census was held in the 18th century (although there was data to conduct similar events in the Roman Empire). Motive was the ordering of taxation.

Recently the planet hosted 5 billion habitants for the first time. The first estimate of the population of the world was held in 1682 by Sir William Petty from England. He came up with the report that by the end of the 17th century population living on Earth was 320 million (current population estimates, it was at that time almost twice as more).

During the nineteenth century the official data on population was first collected in most European and some Latin American states. In Asia first census was conducted only after the Second World War. In most African territories census was carried out by international organizations in the late 50s. In Chad, Central African Republic, Angola, these censuses were first and only. In Ethiopia, the first census was accomplished in 1982, but its testified results are not yet published. All censuses made it clear that the role of occupational safety is deciding.

Often safety specialists design the methods to make forecast for hazards from statistical data and other sources. These professionals use such methods and their own experience to estimate present products, facilities, equipment, and processes. For instance, OSHA specialist can uncover patterns in incident data that indicate that most injuries are caused by a particular type of system error, human failure, or weakness in processes.
