EU-OSHA’s objective is to provide an information system that all relevant stakeholders can accept and that is a reliable and authoritative source of OSH-Information in the EU.  The text-based qualitative indicators follow a common harmonised structure. All indicators and their sub indicators plus methodological explanations and their visualisation are online since May 2020 (https://visualisation.osha.europa.eu/osh-barometer#!/).
