text: The use of external**sources of information**to support with OSH management is relatively common 
  across the EU27, however, the type of organisational expertise received varies quite significantly by 
  country, although, the most common source identified was ‘contracted OSH experts’ (64%), suggesting 
  that establishments prefer to receive advice from private sources. This was followed by insurance 
  providers (45%), which in some countries, such as Germany (84%), forms a core element of the OSH 
  management organisational system. 
  
  Further to this, slightly under two-thirds of establishments in the EU27 (62%) report using the services 
  of an**external provider**to support them in their health and safety tasks, the shares being highest among 
  establishments in Slovenia (86%) and Portugal (85%). Turning to external providers appears to be 
  associated positively with establishment size while the sector breakdown reveals that it is the most 
  frequent among establishments in manufacturing (72%). 
  
  ESENER 2019 demonstrates that the use of**health and safety services**reveals occupational health 
  doctors (76%), generalists on health and safety (61%), and experts for accident prevention (52%) to be 
  the most frequently used. Focusing on psychosocial risks, the use of a psychologist is reported by only 
  19% of establishments in the EU27, however significant differences can be observed between different 
  countries. For example, in Finland the practice was indicated as widespread (from 60% to 71%), where 
  a strong voluntary emphasis on managing mental health issues is places by national legislation. 419
