3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Harmonised data on accidents at work are collected in the framework of the administrative data collection 'European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW)', on the basis of a methodology developed first in 1990. European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) - Summary methodology - 2013 edition is the last version available. 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:
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. |

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;
A fatal accident at work is defined as an accident that leads to the death of a victim within one year of the accident. The following 15 phase I and II variables have to be sent by Member States to Eurostat from reference year 2011 onwards on an annual basis: 1. Case number
The definition of the variables is stated in the Commission Regulation (EU) No 349/2011 and further specified in the ESAW methodology. |

|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
Statistical indicators of accidents at work (according to ESAW) are not revised, final results are published and they are not subsequently revised. Revisions of the annual statistical indicators of accidents at work, which are prepared by the State Labor Inspectorate (STI), are carried out by 1 June of each year. Statistical indicators of accidents at work are adjusted for a period of no longer than the last 3 years, adjusting all the indicators of each year separately. Revisions can be performed when significant errors appear, classifiers change, the methodology is updated, new sources of statistical data appear. After the planned revision of statistical indicators of annual accidents at work, statistical data on accidents at work are provided to SL in accordance with the SLI and SL Statistical Information Provision Agreement, according to the terms set on the Official Statistics Portal, published in the "News", "Accidents" and "Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) status reports" sections of the SLI website, indicating the date of the last revision. Upon receiving a request from Eurostat to clarify the micro-data and metadata of accidents at work submitted for the relevant reporting period/periods, an unplanned audit is carried out. If there is a technical error in the values of published statistical indicators that does not require revision, it is corrected immediately and users are informed about it. |
|||
17.2.1. Data revision - average size | |||
Average absolute revision of statistical indicators on accidents at work for 2022 is 4.43. Relative average absolute of statistical indicators on accidents at work for 2022 is 0.004. |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
In the course of the preparation of statistical information in accordance with the national legislation, aggregated data on accidents at work from the State Labour Inspectorate under the Ministry of Social Security and Labour are used. The data sources, also the exact source of the national reference population of Lithuania from the Statistics Lithuania State Data Agency. |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Annual. Annexes: Population 2022 LT |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
Records of accidents at work are submitted to the State Labour Inspectorate by phone, fax or email. Statistics on every accident at work (depersonalised primary database) are sent to Eurostat by email. |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
Data analysis and editing are performed to ensure the quality of statistical data. Completeness and reliability of statistical data is checked. Before presenting the research results to users, the results obtained are compared with the results of previous years, information from other sources, and the mutual compatibility of the indicators is checked. If the results are significantly different from the previous year, reasons for such differences are explained, and the statistical data are adjusted. |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
The indicators of the statistical study of accidents at work are calculated using the data of the database of the permanent monitoring information system of the SLI Working Conditions at Workplaces. Statistical information is prepared using classification, summation and grouping methods. |
|||
