| Abstract |
This study was carried out as part of the strategy of the European Commission to improve the body of knowledge on the economic and social cost of occupational accidents and illnesses. An initial literature survey performed in this prospect revealed a lack of comprehensive studies in this domain. This project produced a preliminary model to estimate these costs at the EU level as a function of a number of variables. The model was based on cost data from a questionnaire survey and administrative statistical data on numbers and characteristics of accidents at work and on labour costs. Despite the preliminary nature of the model and the derived estimates, the results provided a useful cost perspective to the issue of safety at work. |
