Abstract Introduction The OSH Barometer is a visual information system on status and trends of OSH in the EU. The system contains data from governmental sources, statistical authorities, European surveys and research. The included indicators are updated on a regular basis, while apart from data referring to previous years, a number of forecasted indicators referring to the year 2035 are included. Methods The tool has four sections: “Generic information”, “Steering of OSH”, “OSH outcomes and working conditions”, and “OSH infrastructure and monitoring capacity”. These four sections contain indicators such as: • OSH authorities • Economic and sector profile • Workforce profile • National strategies • Regulation • Social dialogue and Worker involvement • Work accidents • Work related diseases • Health perception of workers • Working conditions and prevention • Enforcement capacity Results In total, more than 90 single datasets (sub-indicators) are included. Every data set covers all EU Member States and provides EU27 average values as well. Discussion The OSH Barometer offers filtering and adaptation to the information needs of the users. It also allows comparison between Member States and the EU-average. The tool went live in 2020 but is regularly updated with the addition of new features and indicators. Included data are used for the development of analytical reports, with explanatory and analytical descriptions of status, trends that reach back between 10 and 25 years, and forecasts. Conclusion This exercise can provide knowledge and insights for safer and healthier work, in an ever-changing world of work, to wider audiences.
