text: A main factor for comparatively**higher physical health risks in a country is the different share of**
  **sectors in the economy**. However, there is only a statistically significant correlation but not always an 
  unambiguous relation between sectors and physical health risks. 
  
  **Countries with a high share of the sectors industry, agriculture and construction**show in general 
  higher values regarding physical health risks from exposure to vibrations, noise and dangerous 
  substances, for example, Romania (highest share of these three sectors), Poland (second highest share) 
  and Hungary (seventh highest share). Still, two countries with a high share of employed persons in these 
  sectors like Bulgaria and Czechia cannot be found in the list of the seven countries with the highest 
  share of employees exposed to these physical health risks; Slovakia and Slovenia are only found 
  regarding the exposure to loud noise. These data give an indication of the sectoral spread of physical 
  health risk but cannot explain every country situation in detail.
