A new report from the National Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet) presents both positive and negative trends in the Danish working environment over the last decade. While fewer work-related accidents are reported, problems caused by repetitive work represent a growing proportion of work-related illnesses.

The newly published Surveillance Report 2002 (in Danish) from the National Working Environment Authority monitors the Government's "Action programme for a clean working environment 2005", which was adopted by the government in 1993.

The action programme aims at reducing or eliminating seven of the most serious problem areas in the Danish working environment.
