Footnote:

Methodological sheet of the indicator available for the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.

Available indicator

Rate of incidence of accidents with sick leave during the working day/in transit, according to severity
Target

8.8 Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment
Goal

8- Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
Definition

Rate of incidence of accidents with sick leave during the working day/in transit, by severity
Theoretical formula \[IACC_{severity}^{t} = \frac{ACC_{severity}^{t}}{PE_{OIT}^{t}} \cdot 100.000\]

where:

$ACC_{severity}^{t} =$ number of accidents with sick leave during the working day/in transit, by severity in year $t$

$PE_{OIT}^{t} =$ employed people in year $t$

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

This indicator provides valuable information that could be used to formulate policies and programmes for the prevention of occupational injuries, diseases and deaths. It could also be used to monitor the implementation of these programmes and to signal particular areas of increasing risk such as a particular occupation, industry or location. Although the principal objective of this indicator is to provide information for prevention purposes, it may be used for a number of other purposes, such as to identify the occupations and economic activities with the highest risk of occupational injuries; to detect changes in the pattern and occurrence of occupational injuries, so as to monitor improvements in safety and reveal any new areas of risk; to inform employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations of the risks associated with their work and workplaces, so that they can take an active part in their own safety; to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures; to estimate the consequences of occupational injuries, particularly in terms of days lost or costs; and to provide a basis for policymaking aimed at encouraging employers, employers’ organizations, workers and workers’ organizations to introduce accident prevention measures.
