Abstract
In their recent paper, Iavicoli and colleagues provided a narrative review on the historical development of ethics in occupational health and discussed several ethical concerns; they also hinted the "next step" for resolving the ethical challenges that occupational health professionals (OHPs) will encounter [...].
Highlights
The analysis of “the three types of ethics” seems to be the one that is closest to an “integrated approach” to address ethical challenges
Ethical concerns for older workers are limited to those brought by new technologies, and the ones related to the working environment where a job can be sustainable [3]
Workers who are exposed to ergonomic risks associated with musculoskeletal problems, older workers, and workers with a lower social–economic status are especially susceptible to this issue
Summary
The ethical concerns the authors raised are relevant and should be taken notice of by OHPs and policy makers. As the authors rightly put, globalization has a tremendous ethical impact on occupational health, especially on worsening health inequalities among workers in developing countries and migrant workers. Governments and international organizations need to establish more strategies to face this problem [2].
