Reference metadata describe statistical concepts and methodologies used for the collection and generation of data. They provide information on data quality and, since they are strongly content-oriented, assist users in interpreting the data. Reference metadata, unlike structural metadata, can be decoupled from the data.
An accident at work is defined as 'a discrete occurrence in the course of work which leads to physical or mental harm'. If the accident does not lead to the death of the victim it is called a 'non-fatal' (or 'serious') accident. The data include only fatal and non-fatal accidents involving more than 3 calendar days of absence from work.
A fatal accident at work is defined as an accident, which leads to the death of a victim within one year of the accident.
The variables collected on accidents at work include:
Economic activity of the employer and size of the enterprise
Employment status, occupation, age, sex and nationality of victim
Geographical location, date and time of the accident
Type of injury, body part injured and the severity of the accident (number of full calendar days during which the victim is unfit for work excluding the day of the accident, permanent incapacity or death within one year of the accident)
Variables on causes and circumstances of the accident: workstation, working environment, working process, specific physical activity, material agent of the specific physical activity, deviation and material agent of deviation, contact - mode of injury and material agent of contact - mode of injury (mandatory 3 out of 9).
The national ESAW sources are the declarations of accidents at work, either to the accident insurance of the national social security system, a private insurance for accidents at work or to other relevant national authorities (labour inspection, health and safety authority, etc.). As an exception, when data from administrative sources are not available, survey data might be used to fill-in the data gaps.
Eurostat website has a structure that includes four folders with accidents at work data:
1. Accidents at work (ESAW, 2008 onwards) contains the most recent data. This folder has other three sections: 'Main Indicators', 'Details by economic sector (NACE Rev2, 2008 onwards) and 'Causes and circumstances of accidents at work'.
Depending on the table, data are broken down by: economic activity (NACE 'main sectors' (1 digit code) or more detailed NACE divisions (2 digit codes)); the occupation of the victim (ISCO-08 code); country; severity of the accident, sex, age, employment status, size of the enterprise, body part injured and type of injury. The unit of measure depends also on the table. The following units of measure are available: numbers, percentages, incidence rates and standardised incidence rates of non-fatal and fatal accidents at work.
3.2. Classification system
The following classifications are used in ESAW:
NACE Rev. 2: 2nd revision of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community managed by Eurostat. For ESAW data NACE Rev. 2 is used from reference year 2008 onwards;
ISCO-08: International Standard Classification of Occupations managed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) (revision of 2008). ISCO-08 should be used from reference year 2011 onwards. ISCO-88 was used until 2010;
NUTS: Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics. Latest NUTS version in force, depending on the reference year of the data collection;
ICSE-93: International Classification by Status in Employment (revision of 1993).
3.3. Coverage - sector

According to the national legislation:
Accident at workrefers to anevent at work, including traffic accidents during working time, which is investigated in accordance with the established procedure and deemed an accident at work, entailing a trauma (minor, serious or fatal injury).
Fatal accident at work refers to an event during which a worker suffers a trauma which poses a risk to his/her health and/or life and in consequence of which the worker dies immediately or sometime later.
Days lost because of temporary incapacity due to an accident at work refers to the number of full calendar days when the victim is unfit for work due to an accident at work.
Incidence rate of accidents at work refers to the number of accidents at work per 100 000 persons employed.
According to the European Union (EU) legislation:
Accident at work refers to a discrete occurrence in the course of work which leads to physical or mental harm. The phrase ‘in the course of work’ means whilst engaged in an occupational activity or during the time spent at work. This includes road traffic accidents that occur in the course of work but excludes commuting accidents, i.e. road accidents that occur during the journey between home and the workplace.
Fatal accident at work refers to anaccident which leads to the death of a victim within one year of the accident.
European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) are based on case-by-case data for accidents at work resulting in more than 3 days' absence from work, permanent incapacity or death of the victim.
An accident at work is 'a discrete occurrence in the course of work which leads to physical or mental harm'.
- This includes all accidents in the course of work, whether they happen inside or outside the premises of the employer, on the premises of another employer, in public places or during transport (including road traffic accidents or accidents in any other mean of transportation) and at home (such as during teleworking). It also includes cases of acute poisoning and wilful acts of other persons; - It excludes:
Commuting accidents: accidents that occur during the normal journey to or from home and place of work;
Deliberate self-inflicted injuries;
Accidents from strictly natural causes;
Accidents, purely private;
Accidents to members of the public, even if such an accident is due to a work activity within a company.
A fatal accident at work is defined as an accident that leads to the death of a victim within one year of the accident.
