Omissions

• The exact EU-OSHA figure is 27% (OSH Pulse 2022) and 29% (OSH Pulse 2025), i.e. 'nearly one in three', not a full one in three (33%).
• EU-OSHA's own 2025 communication frames the figure as 'nearly 30%', while the phrase 'one in three' in the same source refers to a different indicator (workers who feel their efforts go unnoticed).
• The claim rounds the 2022 figure (27%) upward; the most recent pre-session figure available is 29% (2025).
