Indicators, statistics gathered from a larger pool because they have the power to summarize or to serve as indirect or proxy measures for information that is lacking, would be valuable in appraising occupational health status in a country provided data are both feasible and relatively inexpensive to collect. A generally accepted set of occupational health indicators does not exist. This project aimed to compile a set for South Africa. An initial set of possible indicators was compiled and then rated by key informants. A committee of the National Centre for Occupational Health selected a final set of 16 indicators. The indicators and limited data collected on some of them are presented with commentary. The validity and the impact of the indicators need to be formally assessed.

Occupational health remains neglected in developing countries because of competing social, economic, and political challenges. Occupational health research in developing countries should recognize the social and political context of work relations, especially the fact that the majority of developing countries lack the political mechanisms to translate scientific findings into effective policies. Researchers in the developing world can achieve tangible progress in promoting occupational health only if they end their professional isolation and examine occupational health in the broader context of social justice and national development in alliance with researchers from other disciplines. An occupational health research paradigm in developing countries should focus less on the workplace and more on the worker in his or her social context.
