Health and Safety Indicators

What is an occupational health and safety indicator?

An occupational health and safety indicator is a specific measure of a work-related
disease or injury, or a factor associated with occupational health, such as workplace
exposures, hazards, or interventions, in a specified population. Indicators can be generated
by states to track trends in the occupational health status of the working population.
Examples of occupational health indicators include counting the number of work-related
deaths and work-related pesticide poisonings.

Why use occupational health and safety indicators?

 Measure baseline health of worker populations
 Identify trends and patterns of work-related injury, illness, and death
 Anticipate early problem areas that deserve attention
 Reduce preventable workplace injuries
 Increase consistency and availability of occupational disease and injury
