2. Introduction: Objectives, collaborators and development
Design and develop a reliable and stable information system on OSH in Europe, based on data of the relevant national and European data providers.
The system provides up-to-date online information for all interested parties and stakeholders about the status of OSH in the European Union
Every three years
EU-OSHA will prepare an analytical report based on these data.
Collaborators
National contact points in Member States
Data providers and data holding EU institutions (Eurostat, Eurofound, EU-OSHA itself, etc.)
Data providers and data holding institutions in Member States
DG Employment

3. Introduction: Objectives, collaborators and development
Visualisations
Design in line with other EU- OSHA tools (Ageing workforce, Costs and benefits, ESENER).
Following common principles like agile design, colour selection etc.
Visualisation is not only a graphical exercise but requires substantial decisions:
Visually and structurally harmonised descriptions of all Member States for all indicators, particularly the qualitative data (national strategies, social dialogue)
Selection of data to be presented.
Combination of different data sets.
Major messages can be very much influenced by data selection and data presentation.
Compare function when useful: Comparison of Member States or Member States and the EU-level.

4. Introduction: Pilot version and complete tool
Up to January 2018 EU–OSHA completed the visualisation of two indicators: work accidents and national strategies. In 2019 EU-OSHA plans to visualise the pending 12 additional indicators in 4 groups. This document includes the 1st draft version of the complete tool.

OSH authority
See more in its website and in OSHwiki
The competent authority in OSH matters is the Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health and Consumer Protection. It is responsible for most employment related issues, namely: social security (insurance for pensions and unemployment), industrial relations, labour market policy, labour conditions and inspections, statistics, OSH, and vocational training.

Labour inspectorate (Arbeitsinpektion)
OSH authority
See more in its website and in OSHwiki
The general Labour Inspectorate (Arbeitsinspektion) is by far the largest of those bodies that have been installed to monitor safety and health of the employees. It covers industries, services, the public sector, and transport - following the July 2012 merger with Inspectorate of Transport. It is centralised and acts nationwide through 16 regional departments and one central office. Newly recruited inspectors follow a two-year training programme, with the emphasis on legislation and general OSH principles. At level of the Federal States, nine regional Labour Inspectorates for Agriculture and Forestry are installed.

The first indicator is an overview on OSH Authorities and relevant OSH institutions in the different Member states and at EU level. 

9. Generic information Economic and sector profile
