Regularly monitor and review your approach to health and safety in your workplace to make sure your system works.
Managing and improving health and safety needs to be an ongoing process. Safety processes and operations evolve with time and workers and equipment come and go, changing the risks in your workplace. Effective safety management requires leadership and commitment. Everyone at work also needs to understand their responsibilities and how they can best meet them. By managing tasks and people with safety front-of-mind, you can achieve good safety outcomes for everyone at work.

It should be noted that not all workers are covered by the national data collection systems in member states.
With respect to occupational disease, problems arise from under-reporting and differences between the national social security systems [8]. Information is collected on the following variables: age, sex, and occupation at time of harmful exposure of the victim, economic activity of employer at time of harmful exposure, diagnosis, severity of disease, exposure, year of first recognition, severity of disease of first recognition.
The European Commission has published a report about the first detailed and comprehensive analysis of causes and circumstances of accidents at work in the 15 member states of the European Union from the years Subsequently on the basis of conclusions from the statistical analysis, the second part provides proposals for possible measures that should be implemented to prevent accidents at work.
According to the report, around 4 million occupational accidents which required more than three work days of absence occurred in the EU in This figure is With respect to fatal accidents, this trend is even more remarkable with a reduction of The non-fatal accident rate work accidents per , workers in the nine main economic branches decreased by In , the incidence rate for these branches fell for the first time below the threshold of 3, non-fatal accidents per , workers, and below 3.
In , this downward trend gained momentum, with incidence rates for non-fatal accidents falling by 5. A total of 5, workers died in a fatal accident in When comparing the number of fatal accidents in the EU, it was found that this figure had decreased from persons in to persons in [2]. Occupational accidents occurred more often in men, younger workers, and in workers with a low educational level. It was estimated that occupational accidents resulted in at least 83 million calendar sick days in This figure does not include those workers that do not expect ever to work again and workers that were already on sick leave [2].
In addition, each member state publishes national statistics in their own language. Between and musculoskeletal diseases accounted for most to the occupational diseases recognised by the authorities in member states according to the European Statistics on Occupational Diseases EODS. Neurological diseases, lung diseases, diseases of the sensory organs, and skin diseases also contributed substantially. Men were registered more often with an occupational disease than women.
In different countries the total numbers of occupational diseases recognised varies from a few dozen to tens of thousands. Because of problems of comparability between different countries, statistics on occupational diseases are published only jointly for all countries participating in EODS. The obligatory list consists of 68 diseases. The EODS specifications also include 41 diagnostic entities which can be provided optionally. These diseases are not covered by the reporting systems in all participating countries and therefore the data are incomplete.
The number of these cases has been clearly lower than that of the obligatory list of diseases [2]. The most frequent diseases recorded in — were carpal tunnel syndrome, diseases due to overstraining of the muscular and tendonous insertions, diseases due to overstraining of the tendon sheaths, pre-patellar and sub-patellar bursitis, hypoacousis or deafness caused by noise, lung cancer following the inhalation of asbestos dust, chronic obstructive bronchitis or emphysema in miners working in underground coal mines, fibrotic diseases of the pleura, with respiratory restriction, caused by asbestos [2].
