The Danish Work Environment Cohort Study from the National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOH) shows that the work environment and working conditions have generally improved from 1990-2000. However, these developments are largely explained by a changing labour force rather than by interventions in the work environment and in the occupational health system.The results of the study reveal that working conditions vary significantly across sectors and in relation to different job categories. For instance, the majority of jobs with a high degree of exposure to various work environment risks are found among unskilled workers in crafts and manufacturing.
