  15%; below or around 20% are also Italy, Ireland and Czechia, Germany, Hungary and Romania. The 
  countries with the highest percentage of perceived health risks at work are Latvia (41%), followed by 
  Spain and Slovenia (both 38%), Lithuania (37%), and Estonia, France and Malta (all 35%).

  ‘Commerce / Hospitality’ (20%) and ‘Financial / Other services’ the lowest (20%). These sectoral 
  differences repeat in most countries.
