text: In the Member States there exist very**diverging perceptions of which level of severity of a work**
  **accident justifies a notification**— or in the case of the LFS survey a positive response. In the LFS 
  Ad hoc module of 2020, the figures vary significantly between Member States. Some countries 
  practically report only accidents with ‘Off work’ periods, for example, Italy, Lithuania, Malta and Poland. 
  In other countries the shares of work accidents reported that result in ‘Off work’ are under 40%, for 
  example, for Sweden and Finland, Greece, Denmark and France. 157 That means that in these countries 
  the respondents reported more than 50% such work accidents that did not cause an absence. Cultural 
  differences in health perception in society and working life will probably be the major reason for these 
  differences.
