In striving for improvement we have added:
- Exchange rate analyses and inflation comparisons across Europe.
- Further categories of common injuries, namely, deafness, the concept of repetitive strain for several EU & EFTA countries and a schedule for stress (for England and Wales only).
- Block graphs to cover more injuries rather than the limited selection produced in the edition.
- An analysis of the changes which have taken place since the original survey and the survey for the second edition (1994) were carried out.
