Printed in Ireland PREFACE
The survey presented here was carried out in 1991. It was based on direct
interviews with 12.500 workers, both employees and the self-employed,
throughout the 12 member states of the European Community. The sample is
representative of the distribution of the labour force between sectors,
males and females, age groups and by professional status.
As social integration moves forward, and as the number of initiatives
dealing with the work environment at Community level increase, more
comprehensive and homogeneous data on working conditions in the Community is
reguired. The present survey is a step in this direction.
