  2. Contents • European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) • Labour Force Survey ad-hoc modules • European Occupational Diseases Statistics (EODS) • Data • Links

  3. Data collections in HSW • From administrative sources: • European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) • 1993, gentlemen's agreement, Commission regulation with some derogations • European Occupational Diseases Statistics (EODS) • 2002, gentlemen's agreement, halted, simplification and revision needed • From surveys: • Labour Force Survey ad hoc module (LFS AHM)on accidents at work and other work-related health problems(covers also exposure to risk factors) • 1997, 2013 Commission regulation, ESS agreement

  4. ESAW • Commission Regulation 349/2011 • First data for the reference year 2011 (June 2013) • All sectors of economic activity both public and private should be covered. • Focus on employees • Gradual implementation • Some sectors (Mining, Fishing, Public administration, Health, Education) not yet well covered by all countries. => 2015 • Some variables not yet collected => 2015 • No later than 18 months, micro data and metadata, quality report • Commission decision on derogations • some countries got derogations till 2014 (DE: "days lost" in 2016, UK in 2015) • Methodology (concepts, variables, definitions, classifications)

  5. ESAW • Accident at work: discrete occurrence in the course of work which leads to physical or mental harm (whilst engaged in an occupational activity or during the time spent at work) • Serious: more than 3 days’ absence from work • Fatal: leading to the death of the victim within one year • Variables: • injured person:Employment status, occupation, sex, age, nationality • injury:Type of injury, part of the body injured, days lost (severity) • enterprise: Economic activity, size of the enterprise • Date, time and geographical location of the accident • Causes and circumstances: Characteristics of the workplace and the sequence of events characterising the causes and circumstances of the accident

  6. ESAW • injured person • Employment status (employees, self-employed, …) • Occupation (ISCO08 / ISCO88) • sex, age, nationality (optional) • Injury (broadly in accordance with ICD10, ILO resolution) • Type of injury • part of the body injured • days lost (severity) • Enterprise • Economic activity (NACE REV2 / NACE Rev 1) • size of the enterprise (optional) • Date, time (optional) and geographical location of the accident

  7. ESAW • Variables on causes and circumstances: • At least 3 out of 9 • 3 sequences: • Before the accident, the person is carrying out a specific physical activity at a particular location (working environment) • During the accident, an abnormal, unexpected and undesired event (deviation from the normal) causes an accident • As a result, the injury occurs (contact – mode injury, part of body injured) that causes injury-related absence (days lost) or death (severity). • Each of the three levels can be linked with Material Agent. • Mostly delivered: Working environment, Deviation, Contact-Mode of injury

  8. ESAW – quality • Completion of all variables (unknown percentages) • Is the insurance system covering all workers? • Are all accidents reported? • Insurance based systems • Accidents are notified to a specific Insurer (public and/or private) • Strong reporting incentive (economic interest for the worker) • BE, DE, EL, ES, FR, IT, LU, AT, PT, FI and CH • Universal social security systems • Legal obligation to report to relevant authority („Labour Inspection“) • Refunding by the universal social security (less economic incentive) • BG, CZ, DK, EE, IE, CY, LV, LT, HU, MT, NL, PL, RO, SI, SK, SE, UK, NO

  9. Under-reporting • For non-fatal accidents • in countries with a non-insurance based data collection. • Assessment of reporting levels by comparing the administrative declaration numbers and national population survey data on people reporting accidents at work or other sources such as hospital records. • Correction in ESAW numbers for under-reporting for these countries (typically multiplied by about 2, but depending on the sector). • For some Member States that joined the EU after 2004, the reporting levels are not yet systematically known.

  10. Ad-hoc modules of the Labour Force Survey • Household survey, modules in 1999, 2007 and next in 2013 • Accidents at work (all, including no day off or 1-3 days, self-reported): • number, type and time out of work (most recent) • for workers not well covered by ESAW (e.g. self-employed) and < 4 days’ absence • Other work-related health problems (WRHP, self-reported): • number, type, time out of work and limitations in normal day-to-day activities (most serious) • Exposure to factors adversely affecting health (mental and physical)

  11. Types of WRHP • Bone, joint or muscle problem which mainly affects neck, shoulders, arms or hands • Bone, joint or muscle problem which mainly affects hips, knees, legs or feet • Bone, joint or muscle problem which mainly affects back • Breathing or lung problem • Skin problem • Hearing problem • Stress, depression or anxiety • Headache and/or eyestrain • Heart disease or attack, or other problems in the circulatory system • Infectious disease (virus, bacteria or other type of infection) • Stomach, liver, kidney or digestive problem • Other types of health problem

  12. Exposure to risk factors • Physical health risk factors • difficult work postures or work movements • handling of heavy loads • noise or strong vibration • chemicals, dust, fumes, smoke or gases • activities involving strong visual concentration • risk of accidents • Mental well-being risk factors • severe time pressure or overload of work • violence or threat of violence • harassment or bullying • always in a degree of frequency and intensity that this is perceived as a risk or has led to physical health problems

  13. EODS • recognised cases, often liable for compensation • “Tip of an iceberg” & Time-lag effect • Commission Recommendation (2003/670/EC) on the European schedule of occupational diseases • Big differences between national recognition systems in terms of scientific criteria, legal basis, administrative practice, type of compensation. • From 2001 onwards, progressively implemented by MS • Basic information on victim + enterprise (at time exposure) • Diagnosis (list of diseases based on ICD10) • Severity (but very difficult) • Exposure and « use categories » • Incident new cases and deaths, but very difficult
