• The claim does not state the survey year: the exact wording ('caused or made worse by work') matches EU-OSHA's OSH Pulse. The 2022 edition reported 27% for stress/anxiety/depression, while the more recent figure cited is 29%.
• 'Almost one in three' (≈33%) rounds up the measured 27–29%; the precise figure is closer to 'more than one in four' / 'nearly 30%'.
• The 44% for severe time pressure/work overload corresponds to the most recent OSH Pulse (2025); the 2022 OSH Pulse reported 46% for the same indicator, so the speaker used the slightly lower, more recent value.
• Sources are EU-OSHA agency pages; the exact publication dates of the individual web pages could not be fully confirmed from the search results.
