Data availability
MortalityHealth For All database - no work-related information availableHealth Data OECD - no work-related information available
Morbidity Health For All database - no work-related information availableHealth Data OECD - no work-related information available ESWC
Labour Force Survey ad hoc module 1999
Accidents at Work ESAW Labour Force Survey ad hoc module 1999
Occupational Diseases EODS Labour Force Survey ad hoc module 1999
Sickness absenceESWC Labour Force Surveysocial insurance data
Data availability: Some remarks
data for some countries are missing
data are collected for only one year (LFS ad hoc module: only 1999) or quite infrequently (ESWC: approx. every 4-5 years)
there is a long time delay between collection and publication of data (EODS: 3 years)
Improving data availability is a slow process if it is given no high political priority
Is it possible to set up a European work-related public health report?
What is the status of work-related health monitoring in the new member states?
WORKHEALTH II
Development of an European work-related health report
and establishment of mechanisms
for dissemination and co-operation
in the acceding and candidate countries

WORKPLACE
Mental illhealth
CardiovascularDiseases
Public health importance / Impact on work(sickness absence, cost etc.)
Work-relatedness / risk factors
Strong impact on work
common risk factors in the work environment
bi-directional relationship between mental ill health and cardiovascular diseases
Basic understanding
European data as far as possible
supplement by national data
use available publications and reviews
audience: politics, public health, interested public
chapters rather short and easy to read
