Indicator description	The indicator measures the number of fatal accidents at work that occur in the course of work and lead to the death of the victim within one year of the accident. The incidence rate refers to the number of fatal accidents per 100 000 persons in employment.
Data source and methodology	The indicator monitors occupational safety and health in Bosnia and Herzegovina and contributes to monitoring Sustainable Development Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth. Reducing the number of fatal accidents at work is an important aspect of improving the safety and health protection of workers. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) are not conducted as a separate survey. The Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina uses secondary data sources, including existing data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to monitor this indicator.
Coverage and comparability	The indicator monitors the rate of fatal accidents at work per 100 000 persons in employment and allows the monitoring of changes in occupational safety and health in Bosnia and Herzegovina.A decrease in the indicator value represents a favourable trend, as it indicates a reduction in the incidence of fatal accidents at work. Monitoring the time trend allows the assessment of long-term changes in occupational safety and health and progress by Bosnia and Herzegovina towards Sustainable Development Goal 8. The methodological definition of the indicator is aligned with the relevant principles of European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW).
National context and objectives	The long-term objective is to reduce the rate of fatal accidents at work in Bosnia and Herzegovina and continuously improve occupational safety and health. The long-term technical optimum for this indicator is a value of 0, representing the ambition to prevent fatalities at work.

Data source and methodology	The indicator monitors occupational safety and health and contributes to monitoring Sustainable Development Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth. Harmonised data on accidents at work in the European Union are collected within the framework of the administrative data collection European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW), with Eurostat providing the data for this indicator within the European Statistical System.
Coverage and comparability	The indicator monitors the rate of fatal accidents at work per 100 000 persons in employment and allows the monitoring of long-term changes in occupational safety and health. A decrease in the indicator value represents a favourable trend, as it indicates a reduction in the incidence of fatal accidents at work. At EU level, the protection of workers’ health and safety is an important part of policies aimed at improving working conditions. European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) use a harmonised methodological framework for monitoring fatal and non-fatal accidents at work.
EU context and objectives	The long-term objective for this indicator is a value of 0, representing a science-based, technical optimum and a long-term ambition to prevent fatalities at work.
