3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Collection and presentation of data on the number of accidents occurring at work (fatal or non fatal) according to the duplicate of the Statement of Accident at Work that is submitted by the employer or the employee to the local Branches of the Single Social Security Fund (EFKA). Data that are submitted are:1. Accidents at work, by age groups and percentage distribution. 2. Accidents at work by type of injury and percentage distribution. 3. Accidents at work by the part of the body that was injured and percentage distribution. 4. Accidents at work by branch of economic activity of the local unit of the employer and by Region (YPA) where the accident has occurred. 5. Accidents at work by occupation of the injured person and Region (YPA) where the accident occurred. Data concerns only persons insured by the Single Social Security Fund (EFKA). The lowest geographical level of data dissemination is the Department (NUTS 3). The reference population for the Accidents at Work survey is the reference population used for the Labour Force survey. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.2. Classification system | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For the data with reference year 2007, the branch of economic activity of the enterprise was classified in compliance with the national classification STAKOD 91 (which is based on the Statistical Classification of the Economic Activity NACE Rev.1). For the data from 2008 onwards, STAKOD 2008 is used (based on the Statistical Classification of the Economic Activity NACE Rev.2). For the data with reference year 2010 the occupation of the injured person was classified in compliance with the national classification STEP 92 is (which is the corresponding classification of occupations of the International Labour Office-ISCO-88 and of the European Union -ISCO-COM 88). From 2011 onwards, ISCO-08 is used. Employment status is classified in accordance with the International Classification ISCE. The geographical classification is based on the nomenclature of territorial units, NUTS3 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.3. Coverage - sector | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The survey covers:- all branches of economic activity of the enterprise according to STAKOD 08 (local unit of the employer) at a 2-digit level. (The survey does not cover at a 4-digit level the following branches: 8422 Defense Activities, 8423 Justice and Judicial activities, 8424 Activities of public order and safety, 8425 Fire activities excluding only seasonal firefighters which are covered), - all the categories of occupations of the injured person according to ISCO 08 at a 2-digit level. |

3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“Accident at work” is defined in ESAW methodology as “a discrete occurrence in the course of work which leads to physical or mental harm”. The phrase “in the course of work” means “while engaged in an occupational activity or during the time spent at work”. Commuting accidents, that is accidents that occur during the normal journey to or from home and place of work are excluded.On the contrary, in ELSTAT’s Survey on Accidents at work, accidents that occur during the normal journey to or from home and place of work are also included. Data are collected for all the types of accidents at work (fatal and non fatal). The basic variables are:- the age of the injured person, gender, occupation and citizenship- the economic activity of the employer- the type of injury, the part of the body that was injured, the site where the accident happened, the date of the accident, the time of the accident, the days of absence from work, the size of the enterprise, the status of employment, the nature of accident, the material agent that lead to the accident.Definitions of the basic variables:- «age» is the victim’s age at the time of the accident- «economic activity of the employer» covers the main «economic» activity of the local unit of the enterprise where the victim was working- «type of injury» is the physical effects on the victim- «geographical location» is the territorial unit where the accident occured- «size of the enterprise» is the number of employees working at the local unit of the enterprise where the victim was working- «employment status » of the victim, for example, employee, self-employed, apprentice etc.- «nature of the accident» is the act that leaded to the injury.- «material agent that lead to accident» eg. machinery, ways of transport, material, etc |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.3.1. Data completeness - rate | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ESAW phase I and II variables are covered at nearly 100% level (for derogations and other exceptions see relevant sections in this file). However and as outlined in section 13. on accuracy and reliability, ESAW data suffers at various degrees from under-reporting in some Member States (see among others section 19. Comments). Some Member States do not cover certain economic sectors, professions and employment types (some of which are voluntary to cover; see metadata file in annex). ESAW Phase III variables are currently covered by about 50% on average for all Member States and variables (only three out of nine phase III variables' data are mandatory to transmit to Eurostat). |

|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
From 1998 until 2007 data were comparable due to the use of common definitions of variables and data production methods. There was no issue of comparability over-time. From 2008 onwards, data is not fully comparable as regards economic activity, since the new Statistical Classification of Economic Activities NACE-2 is used. Moreover, data for the year 2011 onwards is not comparable as regards occupation, since the new Statistical Classification of Occupations ISCO-08 is used |
|||
15.2.1. Length of comparable time series | |||
A break for ESAW data was between 2007 and 2008 including a change from NACE Rev.1 to NACE Rev. 2 and concerning the addition of the 13 new Member States which joined the EU in 2004, 2007 and 2013 respectively. Therefore, the length of comparable ESAW time series is for example six years for reference years 2008 - 2013. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
There is cross-domain coherence with data that are published by EFKA but ELSTAT does not include accidents at work that, even if they have occurred during the reference year, have not yet been characterised by EFKA as accidents at work. |
|||
