2 Introduction Erik Henningsen A wounded worker (National Gallery of Denmark) 1 Non-fatal: a discrete occurrence in the course of work which leads to physical or mental harm Note: statistics are usually on accidents at work that imply more than 3 days of absence Also note: commuting accidents are usually not included 2 Fatal: accidents at work that lead to the death of the victim within one year Workplace Accidents in Europe Ali Palali Matteo Picchio Jan C. van Ours 2/40
3 Set-up of the presentation 1 Some numbers & some background 2 Previous studies 3 Developments and cross-country heterogeneity 4 Cross-country analysis 5 Meso analysis: Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden 6 Micro analysis: Italy 7 Conclusions Workplace Accidents in Europe Ali Palali Matteo Picchio Jan C. van Ours 3/40
4 Some numbers on Workplace Accidents 2.2 million WPA in EU (2012) 4000 fatal WPA in EU (2012) Estimated costs % of GDP: 1 (UK) to 3 (Germany, Netherlands) Workplace Accidents in Europe Ali Palali Matteo Picchio Jan C. van Ours 4/40
5 Occupational diseases Occupational disease = chronic ailment that occurs as a result of work or occupational activity Typically identified when more prevalent in a given body of workers than in the general population ILO 2008: 160,000 fatal work-related diseases; cancer leading cause: almost 100,000 Not part of our study Workplace Accidents in Europe Ali Palali Matteo Picchio Jan C. van Ours 5/40
6 European OSH Strategy OSH = occupational health and safety at work European Directives: binding Minimum health and safety requirements for the protection of workers: Workplaces, equipment, signs, personal protective equipment Exposure to chemical agents, physical hazards, biological agents Provisions on workload, ergonomic and psychosocial risks Sector specific and worker related provisions Target: 25% reduction in the total incidence of accidents at work No similar target for occupational diseases Workplace Accidents in Europe Ali Palali Matteo Picchio Jan C. van Ours 6/40
7 European OSH Strategy Focus on 1 Prevention 2 Rule simplification 3 Proper compliance with rules Balance between high level of protection and administrative burden on firms Minimum number of labor inspectors recommended by ILO = 1 per 10,000 workers has not been reached in about half of the member states Workplace Accidents in Europe Ali Palali Matteo Picchio Jan C. van Ours 7/40
8 Previous studies on workplace accidents Industrial sector: construction & manufacturing more than other industries Gender: males more than females Firm size: larger firms more than small firms Job dissatisfaction: satisfied workers less than dissatisfied workers Nature of the job: monotony and lack of autonomy more than other types of work Focus of overview of previous studies 1 Cyclical fluctuations 2 Workplace safety policy 3 Nature of the contract Workplace Accidents in Europe Ali Palali Matteo Picchio Jan C. van Ours 8/40
