Coverage
Data were collected for the year 2011 between October 19, 2011 and February 21, 2012 and consists of 8,892 interviews. Sampling errors according to economic sectors and workplace size are calculated. Weighting coefficients are also deployed to adjust data to the general population where the sample is drawn.
Six waves of this survey have been carried out (1987, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011) with 2007 being the turning point.

The survey contents can be classified in several essential domains:
- present working situation and contract types

- environmental conditions at work
- chemical and biological pollutants
- safety conditions

Data quality
The accuracy of information, the correct application of the methodological standards in the questionnaires and the fulfilment of all technical procedures were consistently supervised on 100% of the interviewers, as well as all the questions related to the economic activities of the company where the interviewee is reporting to work.
The 2007 ENCT has changed the sampling procedure to get information about workers at their home, not at companies. So, it is not possible to make a rigorous comparison with all issues.
The sample is focussing on the proximity and similarity of risks in relation to the economic activities classification (NACE 2009), aggregated in 12 activities, and the workplace size. It follows a multi-stage stratified procedure (census tracts, dwellings and an occupied person).

Applicability
This survey is carried out to complete several objectives as follows:
- To identify and characterise the exposure to various occupational hazards;
- To know those work environment factors that influence health workers; and,
- To estimate preventive activities carried out in the companies.
The main strength is focused on the sample size (close to 9,000 interviewees), which covers the complete Spanish territory, being representative when the economic activity and the size of the company are considered. The questionnaire is fully consolidated after the previous issues and the data quality ensured. Amongst drawbacks, the duration of the questionnaire to be completed by means of the PAPI methods (without any computer assistance) must also be highlighted.
