3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The law defines a work-related accident as one that occurred to an insured individual due to work or during work. This very succinct definition has been supplemented by Luxembourg jurisprudence, which specified the constitutive elements of a workplace accident by adopting a definition from the French Court of Cassation. According to this, a workplace accident is characterized by the sudden action of an external cause during work that inflicts an injury to the human body. The definition of a fatal accident at work at national level is different from the EU level definition. A fatal accident at work is defined as an accident which has led to the death of the victim at the time of its notification. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.2. Classification system | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following classifications are used in ESAW:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.3. Coverage - sector | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
All economic sectors A - S according to NACE Rev. 2 should in principle be covered from reference year 2013 onwards. Before the reference year 2013, there was no obligation to cover sectors outside the so-called 'common branches' A and C – N. However, most Member States covered those non-common sectors C and O – S as well as T and U before on a voluntary basis.
The NACE sectors are (all branches, at one digit level):
Data delivery for sectors T and U is voluntary.
Some sectors and professions are subject to confidentiality rules. According to the ESAW implementing Regulation 349/2011 (annex II), Member States deliver the following NACE Rev. 2 divisions of sector O on a voluntary basis only:
Section '3.6. Statistical population' below gives information about professions (occupations) subject to confidentiality exceptions. On the Eurostat website, the data tables published in section 'Main indicators' (hsw_mi) cover the 13 common branches A, C-N only. In the section 'Details by economic activity (NACE Rev. 2, 2008 onwards) (hsw_n2) some data are presented at 1 and 2 digit level of NACE Rev.2 classification. The ESAW implementing Regulation (see section 11.2 Quality assessment) requires that Member States send data on accidents of 'employees'. Data on accidents of self-employed, family workers and other employment types are voluntary. |

3.5. Statistical unit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data are collected for each accident. If a person is a victim of more than one accident during the reference year, several cases are reported (one for each accident). If there are several victims in the same event of accident, also several cases are reported (one for each victim). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.6. Statistical population | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
All accidents at work are covered. Luxembourg data covers all NACE codes. The employees of the public sector are distributed over several NACE classes and are only partially covered. |

|||
8.1. Release calendar | |||
ESAW data is usually released between January - September of each year (in year N+2, where N is the reference year in which the accidents took place), with a focus on end of June - July (release of most countries' data). There is no specific release calendar for ESAW data (see the Eurostat website for all published ESAW data). See section 14 Timeliness and punctuality for more details about the timing and punctuality of ESAW data releases. |

8.3. Release policy - user access | |||
In line with the Community legal framework and the European Statistics Code of Practice (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-manuals-and-guidelines/-/KS-32-11-955) Eurostat disseminates European statistics on Eurostat's website (see worksheet 10. Accessibility and clarity) respecting professional independence and in an objective, professional and transparent manner in which all users are treated equitably. The detailed arrangements are governed by the Eurostat protocol on impartial access to Eurostat data for users (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/quality/european-statistics-code-of-practice). |

11.1. Quality assurance | |||
A instaured quality manager will, amongst other tasks, also control the quality of the procedures related to statistics and data collection. Also there are monthly checks in place that are sent to some responsibles. They have to check if the encoding is correct and if the interprertation of the accidents is correct. |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Most data is inserted manually into the system. Humans must interpret victim's accounts and codify them. This is of course a potential source of classification errors. A particular challenge in the data collection is the fact that data is extracted from production databases managed by different social security institutions. Because of this there exists a potential risk of misinterpreting parts of the data. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In line with the European Union legal framework and principle 6 (impartiality and objectivity) of the Code of Practice, Eurostat develops, produces and disseminates European statistics respecting scientific independence and in an objective, professional and transparent manner in which all users are treated equitably (see http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/quality/european-statistics-code-of-practice for more information). The main users of the ESAW data at EU level are: Eurostat regularly meets other EU and international organisations as well as representatives of relevant Member State authorities, business associations, workers and employer associations. In addition, it communicates with other user groups such as researchers, students and the media via several channels including its user support, website and through events such as conferences and meetings. The needs and comments from these user groups are continuosly taken into account when deciding about what statistics are collected and disseminated. ESAW data users are often interested in information concerning individual economic sectors. Incidence rates are important for comparing the situation in different Member States and economic sectors. While absolute numbers of accidents for individual economic sectors (at NACE Rev.2 at 2-digit or more detailed level) reflect appropriately the accidents reported in Member States, incidende rates (number of accidents per 100,000 workers) depend also on reference populations which are sometimes not very accurate for smaller sectors. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eurostat carries out regular user satisfaction surveys (see http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/quality/general-evaluation-results) including for statistical domains such as 'health'. Information about the downloads of individual datasets, detailed tables, publications and Statistics Explained articles is regularly compiled and analysed. All available information about user satisfaction is taken into account when developing data collections. However, there is currently no dedicated user satisfaction survey on ESAW statistics. |

Reporting levels by sector
Additional comments on global reporting level
Codes: N sector not covered by data collection
Explanation: Please fill in every cell with information, either "N" for sector not covered by the data collection, "UNK" for sectors covered but unknown reporting level, or a percentage value for sectors covered for which the reporting level is known (such as "52%"). Instead of "medium" or "high" please fill in a approximate value and flag it with "(e)" at the end, such as "50% (e)". Please fill in both, the global reporting cells and the detailed rows for individual sectors. If for example no sector is covered for your country, then fill into every cell "0", if all sectors are covered but all reporting levels are unknown fill in "UNK" in every cell. "N/A" should be replaced by either "N" or "UNK". |

|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
Luxembourg data is subject to under-coverage: The employees of the public sector are only partially covered, as well by the reference population data as by the accident data (the reference population excludes a subset of public sector employees, the accidents of this same subset are excluded from the accident data). |

Processing errors are mainly due to human failures (non-respect of coding and administrative procedures). |
|||
13.3.5. Model assumption error | |||
Not applicable. |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
The legal requirement for Member States is to send Eurostat ESAW data until 30 June of year N+2, where N is the reference year in which the accidents took place. As soon as one or several Member States have sent their data they are published on the Eurostat website. In some cases this may happen already some months before the legal deadline of June. |
|||
14.1.1. Time lag - first result | |||
Approximately 12 months after the end of the reference year (experience of previous years). |
|||
14.1.2. Time lag - final result | |||
Approximately 21 months after the end of the reference year (experience of previous years). |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
Most countries transmit data before and a few days -weeks after the legal deadline of 30 June of year N+2. Eurostat then checks and validates this data and publishes most of it on its website within a few weeks (in July N+2 or before). A few countries may send data only during July - September of year N+2. All data is usually published until September - October of year N+2. |
|||
14.2.1. Punctuality - delivery and publication | |||
See above. |
|
|||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
Data on fatal accidents have a high level of comparability between all countries. Data on non-fatal accidents are considered to be of limited comparability across certain groups of countries. See section 13. on 'accuracy' for further details, in particular concerning the existence of two different types of accident notification systems (insurance based and universal social security system based). Standardised incidence rates are calculated in order to enable between comparison between countries (some countries have larger high-risk sectors in terms of work accidents, for example concerning certain occupations in transport, construction, manufacturing and agriculture; see section 18.6 Adjustment for more details). |
|||
15.1.1. Asymmetry for mirror flow statistics - coefficient | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
Due to changes in the applicable legislation, Luxembourg data concerning years < 2011 and concerning years >= 2011 are not comparable. In addition, Luxembourg has changed its methodology starting with reference year 2014, thus data concerning the reference years < 2014 and >= 2014 are not directly comparable. |
|||
15.2.1. Length of comparable time series | |||
The last major 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 | |||
Coherence - National Accounts National statistics are not directly comparable to ESAW statistics. The Framework Regulation defines ‘accident at work’ and establishes that ‘data shall be collected for fatal accidents at work AND accidents at work resulting in more than three days of absence from work'. National statistics include communting accidents and also accidents under three days of absence (excluding the day of the accident itself) |
|||
15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts | |||
National statistics are not directly comparable to ESAW statistics. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
No additional information to the metadata on EU level available. Information corresponds to the EU metadata. |
|
|||
There is currently no cost/burden analysis available for ESAW data at national level. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
ESAW data are occasionally revised, such as when a country notifies Eurostat about changes in the data and metadata. In 2014 - 2015 a revision of reference populations of some countries was done which impacts on incidence rates (the reference populations is the denominator for incidence rates, the numerator is the numbers of accidents). |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
The practice for data revisions is similar to the practice of publishing new data: either the country sends revised data to Eurostat which checks, validates and publishes it in agreement with the responsible national authority, or Eurostat calculates revised data and sends it to the country's authority for agreement. |
|||
17.2.1. Data revision - average size | |||
Not available. |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
Luxembourg extracts data concerning accidents at work from the databases of the Association d'assurance accident. This data is crossed with information concerning the absence from work extracted from the databases of the Caisse nationale de santé. The information concerning employed persons is extracted from the databases of the Centre commun de la sécurité sociale. |
