Abstract

This report draws on the European Working Conditions Survey to examine:

1. how Ireland compares to other European countries in terms of exposure to risks to health and safety in the workplace

2. whether this exposure changed between 2005 and 2010 and

3. the consequences of this exposure in terms of general health, mental well-being and injury for workers.
