Report - SME Funding Scheme 2001–2002. Promoting health and safety in European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
Keywords:Work-related accidents – especially in small and medium-sized enterprises – are still one of the EU’s most pressing safety and health at work issues. The heavy load borne by workers and their families and the economic cost of work-related accidents to the European economy are a serious cause for concern. According to Eurostat, in 1996 in the EU, there were almost 4.8 million work-related accidents that resulted in more than three days absence from work, amounting to some 146 million working days lost. Fatal accidents for the same year were over 5,500.
