Abstract
⺠Occupational accidents in South Africa are recorded in an insurance and a legislative system. ⺠The recordings are not immediately comparable due to scope differences. ⺠This paper juxtaposes data from both systems and finds they generally are in agreement. ⺠DOL data may serve as a quick, crude but nevertheless reliable feedback instrument. ⺠Since mid-1990s the standard of accident reporting has deteriorated, reliable data after 2000 are mostly absent.
