"Occupational health services in South Africa have developed in a fragmented manner and lag behind international developments. There is, however, a renewed effort to attend to the challenges facing occupational health in this country. This chapter describes the demographic profile of the South African workforce of about 14 million people, including a synopsis of the current dominant employment sectors. An overview is also provided of the spectrum of occupational diseases and injuries encountered. "
