    COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1709

    of 13 November 2018

    specifying the technical characteristics of the 2020 ad hoc module on accidents at work and other work-related health problems as regards the labour force sample survey pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

    Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 of 9 March 1998 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community (1), and in particular Article 7a(5) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    As highlighted in the Commission Communication on an EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014-2020 (2), it is necessary to improve the quality of statistical data collection on work-related accidents and diseases, occupational exposures and work-related ill-health. A repetition of the ad hoc module on accidents at work and work-related health problems, conducted in 1999, 2007 and 2013, should make it possible to complement data transmitted by Member States under Commission Regulation (EU) No 349/2011 (3). Moreover, a repetition of this module should provide information on occupational exposure to risk factors for physical health and mental well-being.

    (2)

    Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1851 (4) specifies and describes the areas of specialised information (‘sub-modules’) which should be included in the 2020 ad hoc module on accidents at work and other work-related health problems.

    (3)

    The Commission should specify the technical characteristics, the filters, the codes and the deadline for the transmission of data under the ad hoc module on accidents at work and other work-related health problems.

    (4)

    The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    The technical characteristics of the 2020 ad hoc module on accidents at work and other work-related health problems, the filters, the codes to be used and the deadline by which the results shall be sent to the Commission are laid down in the Annex.

    Article 2

    This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

    Done at Brussels, 13 November 2018.

    For the Commission

    The President

    Jean-Claude JUNCKER
