Here you will find facts and figures on occupational safety and health (OSH), based on the results of key European projects and EU-OSHA’s European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER).
These findings are presented in our user-friendly data visualisation tools, which provide a snapshot of how workplace risks are managed, working conditions, demographics, and OSH policies and strategies.
We also conduct opinion polls to help us understand how people feel about their work environment, and you can access the results below.
Collecting these facts and figures is a cornerstone of our work, and the results help policy-makers and researchers to identify emerging trends.

ESENER-1 Methodology
The statistical population comprises all establishments that have ten or more employees in the 31 participating countries, covering all sectors of economic activity except for agriculture, forestry and fishing (NACE A), households (NACE T) and extraterritorial organisations (NACE U). The relevant statistical unit of analysis is the establishment, defined as comprising the activities of a single employer at a single set of premises (e.g. a single branch of a bank, a car factory or a school).

Statistics
EU-OSHA’s European survey of enterprises on new and emerging risks helps fill an important information gap in the world of health and safety at work. Data on work-related accidents and ill-health are available through workers’ surveys and through reporting systems, but little is known about the way in which health and safety risks are managed in practice; particularly those that are ‘new and emerging’, such as work-related stress, violence and harassment, as well as digitalisation.
