3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Harmonised data on accidents at work are collected by Labour Inspection within the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity and sent to Eurostat by National Institute of Statistics (NIS) in the framework of the administrative data collection 'European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW)', on the basis of a European methodology developed by Eurostat, the Regulation (EC) no 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on community statistics on public health and health and safety at work and the Commission Regulation (EU) no 349/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) no. 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work, as regards statistics on accidents at work. Accidents at work statistics in Romania are regulated through the Law no.319/2006 regarding health and safety at work. The Labour Inspection is responsible with the data collection and management of the statistical database on accidents at work. The Labour Inspection collects data on accidents at work investigated and registered by the territorial labour inspectorates on the basis of the accident at work registration form (FIAM), established in the national legislation and submitted by employers. The national microdata set of accidents at work sent to Eurostat covers all accidents at work reported to the authorities. In order to provide data regarding accidents at work and reporting of statistical indicators based on the variables regarding economic activity of the employer, the size of the enterprise and the geographical localisation of the accident related to the local unit of employment, steps are being taken by the Labour Inspection in order to change the specific national legislation for work security and health. Changes to the Methodological Norms of the Work security and health law should be made by the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity and the Ministry of Health (institutions with responsibilities in the field), together with the new revised Work security and health Law.

By law, all employers are under the obligation to report any accident, occurred on the premises of their enterprise, resulting in the injury of one person or more, in relation with the activity performed on the premises. The result is the recording of all certified events occurred during work or while fulfilling work duties. The NACE variables (economic activity of the employer), GEO variables (geographical location of the accident) and SIZE variables (size of the company) refers to the employer who records the accident / the employer found responsible for the accident, according with national legislation, namely to information relating to the registered office of the employer, regardless of whether the accident occurred at the registered office or a local unit (place of business / subsidiary / branch) of the employer, except for the cases where the local unit where the accident occured has legal personality in which case, by law, inferes collecting the variables at local unit level.. Measures for improving quality and accuracy of data are planned to be taken into account by the Labour Inspection, such as: the increase of validation procedures, beyond integrity with the nomenclatures, in order to correlate between variables; verifying the correlation, at primary collection level, of FIAM variables with information recorded in the report of findings fill-in on site. Also, the Labour Inspection takes into consideration measures that can reduce the under-reporting of accidents at work such as legislative steps to improve the reporting of accidents at work to the territorial labour inspectorates by promoting the need for registering the accidents and the risks involved in not declaring it. The link between Labour Inspection data and the data of the Work Accidents and Occupational Diseases Insurance Fund is also taken into consideration. |

12.1. Relevance - User Needs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The ESAW data is not published nationally. The Labour Inspection provides aggregated data on occupational accidents to the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity and to the Ministry of Health, elaborated according with national law on health and safety at work, in order to develop policies and strategies in the field of safety and health at work. In order to meet users' needs for information on accidents at work occurred in Romania, national aggregated data on accidents at work are disseminated by the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity through the following publications: "Statistical Bulletin on Labour and Social Protection Domain" (quarterly, on the own website) and "Labour Inspection Annual Activity Report" (annually). Annually, the Labour Inspection sends a report regarding accidents at work to the International Labour Organisation, who publish data and analyses in their publications and online database. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A survey on user satisfaction regarding accidents at work statistics has not been carried out in Romania by Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.3. Completeness | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The accidents at work statistics was carried out according to the European methodology developed by Eurostat, the Regulation (EC) no 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on community statistics on public health and health and safety at work and the Commission Regulation (EU) no. 349/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) no. 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work, as regards statistics on accidents at work.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.3.1. Data completeness - rate | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The ESAW microdata sets sent to Eurostat cover all variables included in Phase I, II and III of ESAW methodology developed by Eurostat. The NACE variable in the national microdata refers to the main activity of the registered office of the employer, not to the local unit where the victim works. This also affects the variable SIZE which refers to the size of the enterprise not just the local unit where the victim works. The SEV variable represents the number of temporary incapacity days as registered in the medical document issued for the work accident. |

13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
As an administrative data collection, the data transmitted to Eurostat are thought to reflect the number of accidents notified to the territorial labour inspectorates. Therefore, ESAW data are considered to have a high level of accuracy in relation to the absolute number of accidents notified in Romania.
By law, employers have the obligation to report the events that lead to the injury of one or more persons in connection with work done by the employer. The accident at work registered by the employer is reported to the territorial labour inspectorate and to the insurers’ agency at the moment when the accident is confirmed, according to the law.
The unreported accidents at work are sanctioned, in accordance with regulations of national law (Law no. 319/2006, art. 39, al.5), with a fine of 3,500-7,000 lei.
According to national law no.319/2006 regarding health and safety at work the accidents at work suffered by the self-employed must by reported to the territorial labour inspectorates. The status of the self-employed, according to the national law in health and safety at work, is established only for holders/owners of entities with the legal status of authorized natural person or individual enterprise, or for the sole owner of a limited liability company, without employees. When the self-employed hires employees, their holders lose their status of self-employed becoming employed.
The microdata files sent to Eurostat do not include the work accidents with temporary incapacity for 3 days, even if in the national database of Labour Inspection these accidents are included, according with national law on regarding health and safety at work. |

13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
The context of under-reporting comes as the Labour Inspection, the authority in charge of investigating and recording of accidents at work, is confronted with various problems: 30% of the inspectorates decisions are challenged in court and 25% of the challenges are accepted by the court; the employers are reluctant to declare the accidents of their employees if it was caused by negligence in their part, especially the small businesses that cannot afford to pay the fines; in many instances the employer settles the incident with the employee resulting in the retraction of the accident at work claim etc.. Because these cases are not recorded and investigated further their impact on the under-reporting cannot be estimated. |
|||
13.3.1. Coverage error | |||
According to the national legislation regarding health and safety at work (Law no.319/2006), military structures and structures in which operate civil servants with special status within the Ministry of Interior, General Directorate of Penitentiaries of the Ministry of Justice, Romanian Intelligence Service, Foreign Intelligence Service, the Protection and Guard Service, the Special Telecommunications Service, as well as the National Committee for the Control of the Nuclear Activities are excluded from work accidents reported by the Labour Inspection. As is mention to point "3.3 Sector coverage" as an exception from the rule mentioned above, the part of non-military structures from sector covers Public order and safety activities (NACE code 84.2.4) and Fire service activities (NACE code 84.2.5) are included. |
