Prevention of 'simple accidents at work' with major consequences

摘要

The concept "simple accidents" is understood as traumatic events with one victim. In the last 10 years many European countries have seen a decline in the number of fatalities, but there still remain many severe accidents at work. In the years 2009-2010 in European countries 2.0-2.4 million occupational accidents a year were notified leading to 4500 fatalities and 90,000 permanent disabilities each year.
