Introduction Developing national occupational health and safety (OHS) profiles involves data collection and analysis to illuminate a country’s workplace safety landscape. This abstract explores data calculation methodologies for comprehensive national OHS profiles while adhering to the International Labour Organization (ILO) Recommendation 197. Methodology The data calculation process for national OHS profiles involves gathering information from diverse sources, including government records, industry reports, surveys, and health databases. This data encompasses workplace injury rates, hazard exposure, safety regulation compliance, and workforce demographics, aligning with ILO Recommendation 197. Results Analyzed data identifies trends, patterns, and disparities in OHS performance across sectors and regions, in line with the spirit of Recommendation 197. Key metrics such as injury frequency and severity rates quantitatively represent workplace safety challenges, ensuring they adhere to ILO guidelines. Discussion Adhering to the principles of Recommendation 197 is vital for meaningful national OHS profiles. Challenges like underreporting and data collection variations impact accuracy. Standardizing data collection methods and improving reporting practices, in accordance with ILO recommendations, enhances data precision. Conclusion The calculation of data for national OHS profiles requires a systematic and holistic approach. Adhering to ILO Recommendation 197 enhances the reliability and comparability of the collected data. As stakeholders strive to create standardized methodologies for data calculation and reporting, in alignment with international guidelines, they contribute to a safer and healthier work environment on a national level. The application of Recommendation 197 ensures that national OHS profiles not only provide accurate insights but also resonate with globally recognized best practices.
