La France détient un triste record européen d’accidents mortels au travail
I am sceptical of this… most likely the definition is slightly different between the countries and that causes most of the difference. Like for example one country might count car accidents that happen during working hours into it, while another one might not consider that a workplace accident.
In France a workplace accident is an accident that happens during the work hours, on the work place. If your work requires you driving it is a workplace accident, but only on the work hours. If you are driving back home or driving to the restaurant for your meal it is not an other type of accident. I don’t know for other countries.
In Germany, the travel to and from work is considered part of the work. If you have an accident, it would be a work accident.
In France it is another type of accident “work commute accident”

Additionally: in most countries deadly cases are few and a single incident (maybe involving several deaths) will skew the numbers a lot.
