What is the OSH Pulse?

The OSH Pulse is a periodical survey conducted on a representative sample of over 28,000 employed workers across the European Union and other European countries. It explores key aspects of occupational safety and health (OSH), with a particular focus on the mental and physical stressors workers face and the preventive measures implemented in their workplaces.

What does the survey cover?

The OSH Pulse questionnaire focuses on topics such as:

Psychosocial risk factors, stress and mental health

Work-related physical and mental health

Preventive OSH measures in the workplace

OSH management in the workplace

Digitalisation and use of digital technologies

Climate change-related impacts

Why is it important?

The OSH Pulse survey informs EU-OSHA’s activities in policy, guides awareness-raising campaigns, and contributes to research on new and emerging risks. In-depth analysis on specific topics or trends yield further interesting findings.
