Accidents at work continue to be one of the major work environment challenges facing legislators, enterprises, and workers worldwide. According to the Labour Force Survey (LFS), using data from 2007, the 3.2% of the workforce in the EU-27 reported an accident at work in the past 12 months. This corresponds to approximately 6.9 million persons. In line, data from the European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) showed that 2.9% of the workers had an accident at work with more than three days of sickness absence and 5580 workers died in a fatal accident in 2007 (Eurostat European Commission. 2010). The data clearly show that accidents at work place a considerable burden on individuals, society and enterprises. 

Recent studies by the Health and Safety Executive using the Labour Force Surveys (which send questionnaires to households) indicate that only 55% (1997/98) of all non-fatal reportable injuries in construction are actually reported to the Executive and local authorities. This is actually an improvement - in 1989/90 the figure was as low as 38%, rising to 46% in 1994/95. Commentary on the disparity between reality and what is reported is presented annually in the Health and Safety Commission s Statistical Review. The information can be regarded only as an indication of the position for any given year.

The outcomes of the survey unequivocally show that eyesight deteriorates with growing age. The impaired eyesight and/or fatigue induced by eyesight-harming activities may be the cause of the occurrence of undesirable events, such as falls in the workplace. If employers keep hiring an even older labour force, they must be familiar with ways to modify the activities and environment to reduce the hazard (risk) level for these employees.
