text: In 2007, 3.2% of the respondents reported an accident, in 2013 this fell to 2.8%, and in 2020 2.3% of 
  the ‘Person in labour force’, aged 15-64, responded with a ‘Yes’. This corresponds to a decline of 28% 
  from 2007 to 2020. The decline of the total estimated number of work accidents shows a similar trend, 
  a 24% decrease from 5.89 million to 4.46 million (if the persons with more than one accident from the 
  2020 survey are not taken into account to achieve a better comparability with 2007 and 2013). 
  
  For 2020,**an estimate of the number of accidents based on the Ad hoc module results in a figure**
  **of 5.24 million**. The number of ESAW-registered non-fatal accidents in 2019 was 3.14 million, 
  approximately 60% of the self-reported. One reason for this difference surely is that the respondents to 
  the question in the LFS Ad hoc module**might refer to every work accident**, including those resulting 
  in under four days of absence.153
