text: 117 Eurostat, Accidents at work by sex and severity (Sector A, C-N, NACE Rev. 2, EU27). Only incidence rates for 
  these selected sectors can be compared, because Eurostat did not calculate / publish an incidence rate for all 
  sectors in 1998 but for Sector A and D to K, NACE 1.1). The incidence rate for all sectors is a little bit lower in 
  2019 (1,603) because the other sectors have lower accident risks. That would also have been the case in 1994.

  124 Rees, 2016: Comparing European and American Health & Safety Laws – ‘Pre-1970, there were approximately 
  14,000 worker fatalities a year, according to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). By 2010, 
  the workforce had doubled, but fatalities were down to just 4,500 – a workplace fatality rate reduction of 66 
  percent. Worker injuries and illnesses were also down from 10.9 incidents per 100 workers in 1972 to 3.2 per 100 
  in 2014.’

  136 Eurostat: Non-fatal accidents at work by NACE Rev. 2 activity and sex, A recalculation of the total number of

  138 Data for 1998 for the Sectors A and D to K, NACE Rev. 1.1, EU-15, for 2019 for Sectors A, C-N, NACE Rev. 2, 
  EU27. Only incidence rates for these selected sectors can be compared because Eurostat did not provide an 
  incidence rate for all sectors in 1998 but for the sectors A and D to K, NACE 1.1. 
  139 In total the incidence rate decreased from 4,089 to 1,713; the difference is 2,376. The reduction between 1998 
  and 2010 amounts to 2,068, and between 2010 and 2019 it sums up to 308. That means that 87% of the 
  reduction was achieved in the first period and 13% in the second period.
