A summary of four secondary analysis reports: Understanding workplace management of safety and health, psychosocial risks and worker participation through ESENER

In 2009, EU-OSHA carried out the first Europe-wide establishment survey on health and safety at the workplace, the European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER). Following on from the initial analysis presented in the descriptive overview report in 2010, four secondary analysis projects have been carried out in 2011. This report provides an overview of these reports, which focus on the following issues: Management of health and safety at work; Worker representation and consultation on health and safety; Factors associated with effective management of psychosocial risks; Management of psychosocial risks— drivers, obstacles, needs and measures taken

Worker representation and consultation on health and safety: An analysis of the findings of the European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER)

In 2009, EU-OSHA carried out the first Europe-wide establishment survey on health and safety at the workplace, the European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER). Following on from the initial analysis presented in the descriptive overview report in 2010, four secondary analysis projects have been carried out in 2011. This report focuses on workers' participation in health and safety management. It highlights how participation varies across Europe and examines the relationship between worker representation and effective management of workplace risks.

Following on from the initial analysis presented in the descriptive overview report in 2010, four secondary analysis projects have been carried out in 2011. This report focuses on management of safety and health at work, examining how practices vary across Europe depending on, for example, establishment size, location and sector.

Occupational safety and health in figures

FR-SUMER - Trends and issues in working conditions 1994-2010

BE - Women and occupational diseases: the case of Belgium

The ETUI recently published a report highlighting the discriminatory impact on women of the system for the declaration and recognition of occupational diseases in Belgium. There is one striking statistic: women represent less than 10% of recognised cases of occupational diseases.

Occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities among woman

Occupational fatalities and nonfatal injuries and illnesses are not shared between the sexes equally. Women had a lower share of injuries and illnesses than what their share of hours worked suggests. Although women represented almost half of the workforce in 2003, they experienced 8 percent of occupational fatalities and 35 percent of nonfatal injuries and illnesses. The qualitative aspects of workplace fatalities and nonfatal injuries and illnesses differed between the sexes as well. The source and nature of their workrelated deaths are categorically different. This divergence between the sexes is explained partially by differences in employment by both occupation and industry. Men and women have different kinds of jobs, and that translates into differences in how and why they are hurt or become sick at work.

DE - 2010 annual report on safety and health at work in Germany

The annual report 2010 has been published late December 2011. The incidence of fatal and serious work accidents is on the rise (1.045.816 serious accidents , a 7,3 % increase) probably due to higher work intensity, speed and pressure, and linked to economic growth and a rise in employment (0.5% in 2010). The report also highlights a significant increase in commuting accidents, with a peak in logistics, transport, and courier services.

Summary - New risks and trends in the safety and health of women at work

In 2009 and 2010, the Agency commissioned an update to its previous research on gender issues at work , which found that inequality both inside and outside the workplace can have an effect on the health and safety of women at work. This summary provides a policy perspective and is meant to contribute to the task outlined by the European strategy on health and safety at work for EU-OSHA’s European Risk Observatory, “examining the specific challenges in terms of health and safety posed by the more extensive integration of women in the labour market”. It provides a statistical overview of the trends in employment and working conditions, hazard exposure and work-related accidents and health problems for women at work. It explores selected issues (combined exposures, occupational cancer, access to rehabilitation, women and informal work, and “emerging” female professions such as home care and domestic work). The research highlights the type of work carried out by women, issues faced by younger and older women, the growth of the service sector, violence and harassment, and increasingly diversified working time patterns as major risk factors.
