Presentation Title

Pan-European opinion poll on
occupational safety and health
Results across 31 European countries - May 2013
Representative results in 31 participating European states for the European Agency for
Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA)
Safety and Health at work is everyone's concern. It's good for you. It's good for business.
Opinion poll design
Universe:
Full-time, part-time and self-employed workers aged 18+ with usual
country of residence and in the respective language
Sample:
Representative sample in each of the 31 participating European
countries
Weighting:
Data weighted to reflect working population by age, gender and
region. Where multi-country data is shown, data has been weighted
to reflect the population size of each country
Method of data
collection:
CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews) across 26
countries. In Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Malta, Romania and
Slovakia interviews were conducted face to face
Sample size:
16,622 interviews across Europe (approximately 500 per country
except in Liechtenstein with 200 interviews conducted)
Fieldwork period:
Interpretation of data:
23rd November 2012 – 5th February 2013
Where percentages do not sum to 100%, or to aggregated scores
(e.g. “very likely” plus “fairly likely”), this may be due to computer
rounding
