The report presents the methodological and organisational principles of the “Accidents at work” survey.

“Accidents at work” is one of the surveys conducted by Statistics Poland. The aim of the survey is to provide information on accidents at work, injured persons and the consequences and causes of accidents. This information is used to take preventive measures and is helpful in conducting analyses in the area of work safety.

The legal basis for conducting surveys in Poland is set out in the Act of 29 June 1995 on Official Statistics (consolidated text, Journal of Laws 2021, item 955) and the Regulation of the Council of Ministers on the programme of statistical surveys of official statistics (PBSSP) for a given year.
