According to Afa Försäkring's 2023 report, which has just been published, the total number of serious accidents at work increased in 2021, returning to the same level as in 2019, with 2.6 accidents per 1,000 employees compared with 2.4 in 2020. The risk of long-term sick leave has also increased.

The “Health and safety at work: from school to work, it's up to you to film” competition organised by the French National Institute for Research and Safety (INRS) aims to raise awareness among young people (in vocational lycées and apprentice training centres, CFAs) of the risks to which they are exposed when they first enter the world of work.
