The third edition of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work’s (EU-OSHA’s) European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER 2019) collected responses on occupational safety and health (OSH) management and workplace risks from those who best know about safety and health in their company.
In spring/summer 2019, 45,420 workplaces employing at least five people from all sectors in 33 countries – the EU-27, as well as Iceland, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom – participated in the survey. The questionnaire remained largely the same as the one used for ESENER 2014, for the purposes of comparison; however, a new section on digitalisation was included.
The data were collected mainly through computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI), and national reference samples were boosted in three countries, funded by the respective national authorities: Ireland (+ 1 250), Norway (+ 450) and Slovenia (+ 300).
