La gestion de la sécurité et de la santé sur les lieux de travail en Europe — éléments issus de la deuxième enquête européenne des entreprises sur les risques nouveaux et émergents (ESENER-2)

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).

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.

ESENER 2009, the first wave of the survey, involved nearly 36,000 interviews with managers and health and safety representatives. The survey covered private and public sector establishments with ten or more employees in the 27 EU Member States, as well as Croatia, Turkey, Norway and Switzerland and more information can be found in .
