on accidents at work & occupational diseases

from this first experience, discussion of

Discussion of implementation &

initial results

implementation : difficulties, relevance,

accuracy & timeliness

analysis of first results & comparison

(accidents) versus administrative sources

ESTAT E/1-E/3


Implementation - 1) general comments

module & final guidelines defined in due time

= 1 year before the reference quarter

however, limitations in the analysis due to : national specificities in the implementation

differences in questionnaires & codes

ESTAT E/1-E/3


Implementation - 2) general difficulties

proxies direct ( separate analysis)

telephone face-to-face (but not identifiable) solution for other comparability issues :

standardisation by industrial structure, analysis on most comparable sub-population (type of job, contract) but not always possible (only if job = main current job)

ESTAT E/1-E/3


Implementation - 3) specific difficulties “accident” “disease” for musculo-skeletal &

infections ( joint analysis), “disease” “health problem”, “serious” “recent”

“other work-related health problems” for inactive people ( separate analysis)

“expects never to do paid work again” other difficult concepts 2 levels question a lot of slight differences in use of codes

ESTAT E/1-E/3


Analysis of data - 1) status & objective delays from MS submission of data (EL, IRL,

IT, NL, UK > 31/03/00) delays in analysis results on 11 MS + HU now available in

02/2001 - Doc. ESTAT/E3/HSW/2000/1123 main objective now : analysis of work-related

accidents & diseases in relation to situation on labour market & job characteristics

ESTAT E/1-E/3


Analysis of data - 2) recommendations MS that collected more information should

report on this experience data from EL not comparable with other MS no specific weights for this module effect of non-reponses to be studied though

apparently no high level

ESTAT E/1-E/3


Analysis data - 3) comparison ESAW high differences, average : LFS = 2/3 x ESAW sum of various effects : proxies, memory recall

problems, not same reference period, etc. not to be fully explained, but detailed

methodological notes to be provided Incidence = ESAW; Analysis labour market

& job characteristics = LFS ad hoc modules

ESTAT E/1-E/3

1999 LFS ad hoc module :1999 LFS ad hoc module :recommendationsrecommendations

Recommendations for future LFS ad hoc

modules (HSW+others) - 1) specifications due time to finalyse the specifications of a

module = 1 year before the reference quarter deadline not only for variables, but also

concepts, values & guidelines different guidelines for face-to-face &

telephone interviews

ESTAT E/1-E/3

1999 LFS ad hoc module :1999 LFS ad hoc module :recommendationsrecommendations

Recommendations for future LFS ad hoc modules - 2) possible improvements

questions should also be proposed (though not compulsory) in parallel to the definition of the variables (via Circa, etc.) ?

only direct or face-to-face interviews for some modules ? but problems for MS with an important part of proxies in the sample ?

specific weights necessary for some modules
