The shift from purely emergency relief for refugees in developing countries to aid within the context of development strategies is slowly gathering momentum (UN, 1983; UNHCR, 1984; Simmonds, 1984). Such a move implies that if self-reliance is to be a realistic goal then employment for refugees is essential; a number of income-generating schemes are therefore being both proposed and developed (ILO, 1983 and 1984).Many of these schemes have implications for the health of the refugees, so this paper summarises some occupational health hazards and offers suggestions for future action
