accidents and 34,202 cases with permanent disability, this is a coefficient of 66 (Eurogip, 2018: Statistical review 
of occupational injuries - France 2016 data). Calculating a similar coefficient for Germany in 2018 leads to a 
coefficient of 27 based on the relation of 497 fatal accidents to 13,550 recognised permanent handicaps that are 
compensated by an occupational pension (DGUV, 2021: Geschäfts- und Rechnungsergebnisse der gewerblichen 
Berufsgenossenschaften und Unfallversicherungsträger der öffentlichen Hand 2020, Anhang 1, p. 164). 
Jørgensen calculates based on Eurostat data from 2009 and 2010 a coefficient of fatal accidents to disabled 
people of 18, and when she calculates the coefficient between fatal and ‘most serious non-fatal injuries’ of more 
than three months, the coefficient is 41. Jørgensen, 2015: Serious work accidents and their causes - An analysis
