Occupational safety and health (OSH) is not guaranteed in a globalized world, with significant inequalities persisting between nations. Ensuring worker protection requires addressing the challenges of economic pressures and varying social protection levels.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Occupational Health
  • Socioeconomics

Background:

  • Globalization impacts economic, political, and cultural spheres worldwide, promoting a dominant market economy model.
  • Free enterprise within this model is seen as the primary driver of development, job creation, and consumption.
  • Occupational safety and health (OSH) faces challenges in ensuring worker protection is not a secondary concern amidst global economic pressures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the complexities of occupational safety and health (OSH) within the context of globalization.
  • To investigate the disparities in OSH standards and outcomes across different countries.
  • To highlight the challenges in maintaining OSH as a priority in a globalized economy.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of the impact of globalization on OSH policies and practices.

  • Comparative assessment of OSH inequalities between developed and developing nations.
  • Examination of the influence of economic factors and social protection levels on worker safety.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant inequalities in OSH exist globally, particularly affecting developing countries.
    • High rates of occupational accidents and diseases persist, especially in sectors like heavy industry, agriculture, mining, and construction.
    • Economic and financial stakes in certain industries often lead to OSH obligations being viewed as constraints on profitability.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational safety and health (OSH) cannot be taken for granted in a globalized world.
    • The gap in OSH standards is widening due to globalization, influenced by varying levels of social protection.
    • Addressing OSH requires a commitment from institutions and businesses to ensure decent working environments as a non-negotiable demand.
