This section presents data about accidents at work and inspections of workplaces by the Labor Inspectorate.
The main data source for accidents at work is the Labor Inspectorate. Employers are legally required to report accidents at work to the Labor Inspectorate. The main social security fund (IKA / EFKA) also collects data on accidents at work, which feed into the datasets of the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT). In line with the European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) framework, these sources primarily cover employees and do not fully capture accidents involving the self-employed, such as most farmers.
