OSH in figures - Occupational safety and health in the transport sector – an overview 3 Statistical and analytical data collection on Transport The transport sector in this template refers to the following NACE codes. NACE 60: Land transport; transport via pipelines 601 Rail transport 602 Road transport 6021 + 6022 + 6023 = Transport of persons 6024 = Freight transport by road 603 Transport through pipes NACE 61: Transport over water 611 Transport overseas 612 Inland navigation NACE 62: Air transport 3.1 Contextual features 3.1.1 General prevalence – Employment According to CYSTAT, the Statistical Service of the Republic of Cyprus, there was an 18.8% increase in the number of workers in transport between 1999 and 2005. As the total workforce across all sectors grew by 23.6% over the same time period, accordingly, the proportion of transport workers to the total workforce employment went down slightly from 3.7% in 1999 to 3.5% in 2005.

As a result of this, the proportion of land transport workers in the total transport workforce fell from 48.5% in 1999 to 40.3% in 2005, while the share of EU-OSHA – European Agency for Safety and Health at Work 8 11.7 12.0 5.0 4.8 4.6 4.4 4.2 4.0 3.8 3.6 3.4 3.2 3.0
OSH in figures - Occupational safety and health in the transport sector – an overview water transport rose from 29.7% to 39.5% during the same period of time. Air transport workers constituted 20.2% of total transport employment in 2005, slightly below the 21.8% they made up back in 1999.

More specifically, small sized enterprises (up to 49 workers) employed about 4,700 workers -39.2% of the sector workforce-, while medium sized enterprises (50-249 workers) employed 2,700 workers -22.5% of the sector workforce-. Finally, large enterprises (more than 250 workers) employed some 4,600 workers -38.3% of the transport workforce-. 3.1.3 Distribution by gender Information on employment by gender is only available for the aggregate transport, storage and communication sector (NACE 60-64). Bearing this in mind, the number of male workers in the sector increased by some 14.6% from 1999 to 2005, while their female counterparts increased their employment numbers by 25% over the same period of time. Following this evolution, the share of female workers in transport has increased slightly over the years, from making up 29.4% of the sector workforce in 199 to 31.3% by 2005. Meanwhile, in the overall workforce across all activity sectors male employment went up by 17.5% while female employment grew by 32.4%. The gender distribution is more balanced than in transport as male workers made up 56.1% of the total workforce in 2005 as opposed to the 43.9% share of their female counterparts. As in transport though, the evolution over time shows a slight reduction in the gender gap. EU-OSHA – European Agency for Safety and Health at Work 9
