text: A quite common method for correcting underreporting is to extrapolate the number of fatal accidents — 
  the reporting rate for fatal accidents is regarded as reliable — to calculate non-fatal accidents. Eurostat 
  provides the coefficient between fatal and non-fatal accidents. 
  
  **Methodology:**
  EU-OSHA used the average coefficient between non-fatal and fatal work accidents of the four 
  countries Finland, France, Germany and Spain. The coefficient of registered non-fatal accident per 
  fatal accident varies between 970 (France) and 2,085 (Germany), in 2019. The coefficient average for 
  these four countries is 1,462. If we multiply all ESAW-registered fatal accidents in the EU27 (3,408 
  cases) with this coefficient, we end up at 4.98 million non-fatal accidents with more than three days of 
  absence. 
  
  For the EU27 in 2019, the**average ratio is 922 non-fatal accidents for every fatal accident**. 147 For 
  an estimate, the coefficients**of benchmark countries**with a known high reporting rate are used to 
  estimate underreporting throughout the EU27.148
