‘Palestine is our working condition’: border pedagogy, materiality, and the corporate university

International occupational health

The Constitution of India states that ‘State shall make provisions for securing just and humane conditions of work’. This provides the basis for provision of occupational health services to all citizens of the country. However, in reality, there is plenty of opportunity to provide occupational health services to all working population, not only in India, but even in the developed world. Occupational health services are available only to 10-15% of workers worldwide and to a miniscule of working population in developing countries. Even where services are available, the quality and relevance may be low. Though there is an intense economic pressure on cost of production all over the world, there cannot be a trade-off between health and productivity at work. The Basic Occupational Health Services (BOHS) are an application of the primary health care principles in the occupational health sector. The BOHS seek to provide occupational health services for all working people in the world regardless of mode of employment, size of workplace or geographic location, that is, according to the principle of universal services provision. These services are most needed in countries and sectors which do not have services at all or which are seriously underserved. It lays stress on the importance of a national strategy and plan of action to incorporate occupational health in all policies. The concept of BOHS has been developed jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO), International Labor Organization (ILO), and International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH) and has its roots in the ‘Alma Ata’ declaration (1978) by the WHO. The BOHS principles were first discussed at the WHO/ILO Joint Committee of Occupational Health in 2003. The BOHS has become a central piece of global occupational health services development plans of the WHO and ILO. The WHO, with its collaborating centers in occupational health, the ILO, ICOH and other international organizations, work for the BOHS. The BOHS shot into limelight with outgoing ICOH President, Prof. Jorma Rantanen, championing the cause. The BOHS concept envisages coverage of all workers, and has a strong focus on prevention. They are to be provided for SMEs as well as self employed persons through public services. There will have to be different modalities for the same. There has to be a strong primary health care approach, which needs strong coordination between health and labor ministries, in our country. The expert institutions on occupational health have an important role to play in BOHS and they need to support the provision of BOHS by developing low-cost solutions. The BOHS aim at: Protection of health at work, Promotion of health, well being, work ability and Prevention of occupational diseases and accidents. Activities under BOHS encompass not only health surveillance, emergency preparedness and first aid services but also include surveillance of work environment, risk assessment and preventive and control measures. Health education and health promotion are also an integral part of BOHS. The BOHS provide a practical tool in identifying priorities and pooling scarce resources to develop an integrated and effective occupational health system and services, tailored to suit the national conditions and needs of each country. Improved conditions of work will lead to a healthier work force and, in turn, improved productivity. It is estimated that India has a working population of approximately 500 million. According to 2001 census, around 70% of the population resides in rural areas. Less than 10% of the workforce is organized, 60% self-employed and 30% do not have regular jobs. The increasing proportion of females in the workforce adds to the traditional OSH issues. The changing face of service sector, in view of the exponential growth on account of globalization and increasing use of information technology, is expected to present new challenges. Proper diagnosis and reporting of occupational diseases is necessary to achieve and implement BOHS. As all of us are aware, the statistics on accidents and occupational illnesses are far from accurate. There are research reports that show the official estimates are vastly low. The organized sector, both private and public, has reasonably well developed OHS based on ILO conventions. However, this sector is miniscule. The OHS are almost non-existent in the unorganized sector. Currently, there is no government agency or department which deals exclusively with occupational safety and health matters. The director general of the Factory Advisory Services and Labor Institutes deals with the safety and health of workers employed in factories and ports, whereas, the director general of Mines Safety deals with the safety and health of miners. While there are other departments under the Ministry of Labour, which deal with OSH issues in different sectors, e.g. the construction sector, no agency covers safety and health for workers in unorganized sectors. In India, we face the twin challenges of integration of occupational health with general health services and delivery of occupational health from medical college hospitals. There is separate training on occupational safety and health for safety professionals and occupational health professionals. The training on occupational health is still at an early stage and there are still no Chairs on occupational health in Indian universities and there are hardly any postgraduate training facilities on OH. The BOHS demands government leadership with tripartite or better still, quadripartite collaboration between government, employers, employees and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like IAOH. We need development of appropriate OSH infrastructure and proper dissemination of health and safety information. Our institutions need to provide simple tools for practical health and safety work at workplaces. Needless to add, our focus needs to be on small and medium sized enterprises, self-employed persons and informal sector. Recently, the national occupational health and safety policy has been finalized by the government and let us hope that it will take the country one step closer towards BOHS for all.

AN extended series of economic studies has failed to find any statistically significant impact on national injury rates due to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA.' Two distinct explanations for this apparent failure of OSHA have been put forward in these studies. The first is that, because of limited statutory and budgetary authority from Congress, OSHA is unable to compel industrial compliance with its own standards. Advocates of this position point to the pitifully small level of OSHA fines and to the small number of firms that will actually be inspected. For example, in 1975, the average fine per violation amounted to only $26, while the average number of inspections per firm was only .02,

"Where are we now?":Negotiating a Changing Model of the University Neta Gordon (bio) For Congress 2011, held at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton the ACCUTE Committee for Professional Concerns (CPC) organized two panels, "Situating Sessionals" and "The Corporate University."1 As I was preparing to present my own paper on "The Corporate University" panel, and while I was in the initial stages of bringing together contributors for this readers' forum, I was also in the thick of working on behalf of my university's faculty association as we negotiated a new collective agreement (which is likely why the term "negotiating" found its way into the title of this forum). Thus, at the time, I was philosophically and substantively absorbed in the idea of the collective rights and responsibilities of the professoriate and in the way the principle of the university as a self-governing institution could be mobilized as a framework for articulating and enshrining particular terms and conditions of work. And, certainly, what emerged in both CPC panels were far-ranging considerations about [End Page 1] the detrimental material effects of institutional policies that emerge, shift, creep, breed, and stealthily (or sometimes overtly) gain formidable, almost overwhelming substance. However, what also emerged was perhaps a more broadly considered exploration of how concrete changes within postsecondary educational systems have come to bear not only on the academic's professional function but also on the sense of his or her cultural and personal identity. This focus on identity and the toll of institutional hiring, workload, resourcing, and accountability policies on the individual academic—on the person behind the doctorate—brings to mind a talk I recently attended entitled "The Slow Professor." In their emerging research project, Maggie Berg (Queen's) and Barbara Seeber (Brock) consider how the political, philosophical, and social principles of the slow food movement might offer academics a constructive vocabulary for responding to the changing and changed university. After picking up on Frank Donoghue's survey of the language of crisis that permeates current scholarship on the state of the university—for example, Martha Nussbaum's clarion cry, "We are in the midst of a crisis of massive proportions and grave global significance"—Berg and Seeber suggest that such language is unhelpful: "The discourse of crisis creates a sense of urgency—act quickly before it is too late—and contributes to the problem of overwork, perceived powerlessness, and stress."2 Berg and Seeber seek to examine how the individual academic—as teacher, researcher, and colleague—becomes a locus for reflection and day-to-day engagement, and, in many respects, contributors to this readers' forum have adopted a similar focus on the local. Robert Zacharias calls for a concerted effort toward the "critical professionalization" of graduate students, a process that might productively empower these members of the university community to understand and critique how their role is discursively defined. Adam Beardsworth writes frankly about the way sessional members of a department undergo extra scrutiny due to their precarious employment status, which sometimes leads to feeling coerced into performing—both in the sense of doing and showing—extra departmental work. In her own piece on the situation of sessionals, Veronica Austen questions the rhetoric of survival that seeps into conversations [End Page 2] between contract faculty and their tenured and tenure-track colleagues, suggesting that the "survival of the fittest" mentality stymies the will to challenge inequities. Writing from the perspective of tenured faculty member and former dean, Donna Palmateer Pennee encourages the professoriate to pay renewed attention to their service responsibilities within the institution, noting that it is through a responsible attitude toward service that we confirm our professional autonomy. Heather Murray encourages members of English departments to start questioning our participation in a culture of self-abnegation that not only leads to overwork but also undermines attempts to effectively advocate for resources. Finally, in a rousing conclusion, Adam Beardsworth and Stephanie McKenzie offer some first thoughts toward a Sessional Manifesto, stressing on the one hand the need for contract labourers to work toward a sense of their collective rights and, on the other hand, the obligation of tenured and tenure-track faculty to recognize these...

<h3>Introduction</h3> The advancement is healthcare is a product of international and local policies, guidelines and recommendations. Occupational Health is a key aspect in sustainable development by ensuring safe work environment and a motivated healthy workforce. Focus has been directed more on factory set up and less on health sector. Recent developments internationally and locally strive at provision of occupational health services to workers in all sectors. This paper review aimed at finding out the developments in occupational health in the health sector in Kenya. <h3>Method</h3> The study utilised secondary data. These were obtained from local, national and international organisations. International information obtained from science publication, ILO, WHO, ICOH and other organisations advocating for best practices. National policies, policy guidelines and other grey literature and government publications from Ministries Labour and Ministry of Health were utilised. <h3>Results</h3> The interventions to protect the health of healthcare workers include legislations, guidelines and training on occupational safety and health; Infection prevention and control; healthcare waste management; Vaccinations and post exposure prophlaxis. Kenya has progressed from her first legislation on occupational health that focused only on factories to current target of all workplaces. Healthcare workers' safety and health took centre stage with the publication of occupational safety and health risk assessment report in February 2013. It was a product of nationwide survey on state owned health facilities that revealed several health hazards faced by healthcare workers. <h3>Discussion</h3> There are notable advancements in occupational Health in health sector in Kenya. This has been guided mainly by recommendations, resolutions and conventions of WHO and ILO. The transition from Factories Ordinance of 1950, to current Occupational Safety and Health Act, 2007 and Work Injury Benefits Act of 2007 has contributed to better enforcements in the health sector. Slow progress may be attributed to funding and human resource limitations

This study aimed to collect and assess information about occupational health in India, for Japanese enterprises. We conducted a preliminary survey through literature reviews and internet search engines. We then conducted interview-based surveys at a central government agency, an international organization, the Japanese embassy, educational and research institutions, and Japanese enterprises in India. This information was categorized into: (1) organizations, legal and inspection systems in occupational health, (2) occupational health management and specialists in workplaces, (3) occupational health-related activities in workplaces resulting from legal obligations, and (4) healthcare and workers' compensation systems. The Indian Ministry of Labour and Employment is primarily responsible for occupational safety and health. There are four main acts of legislation covering occupational safety and health in the factories, ports, mines, and construction sites. The Factories Act, 1948, mandates the establishment of an occupational health center and a safety committee in the factories; the appointment of factory medical officers and safety officers. These medical officers must possess an Indian medical degree, and undertake a three months' course to obtain an Associate Fellow of Industrial Health certificate. The rules and regulations under this act differ in each Indian state. Low-wage workers are registered with a medical insurance scheme. Most workers are covered by workers' compensation schemes, although the number of reported occupational injuries are low. Japanese enterprises should consider the local conditions of occupational health in India because of the different legalities and occupational health status in each state. Regardless of the Factories Act, 1948, stipulating a variety of occupational health-related activities, inadequate legal compliance is suspected to be common because of the ineffective labor inspection requirements and a shortage of specialists on human resources. The study also revealed a deficient social security system. Therefore, the internal educational support for specialists, external support from the company headquarters in Japan, and the local institutions in India; and the systemic support for effective occupational health-related activities are required for improving the status of occupational health in the factories in India.

This chapter describes the impact of social injustice on occupational health and safety. It begins with a discussion of the power relationships that determine the role of government in the workplace, the nature of the labor market, and employment and working conditions. It provides an historical overview of the labor movement and its relationship to occupational health and safety. The chapter describes the impact of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which established the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. It provides a theoretical framework for health inequities. It describes unemployment and precarious work. It discusses race, ethnicity, gender, and class as they pertain to health disparities. The chapter also discusses prison labor, child labor, and immigrant and migrant workers. Finally, the chapter discusses what needs to be done to address social injustice concerning occupational health and safety.

IntroductionThe Future of Scholarly Knowledge in the Humanities James Miller (bio) it seems fitting that david bromwich kicked off the new school's two-day conference on "The Future of Scholarly Knowledge." A quarter-century ago, Bromwich helped shape our ongoing conversations about the future of the academy by publishing Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking, a polemic of rare eloquence. Then as now, Bromwich himself defies stereotyping: he champions the idea of tradition, but he's an open-minded pluralist whose heroes range from Burke and Hume to Wollstonecraft and John Stuart Mill. And he writes a plain prose that exemplifies the pleasures of demotic English in the hands of a scholar who knows how to wear his learning lightly. As Bromwich's keynote paper for the conference makes plain, the terms of his critique remain largely unaltered: today, as he did 25 years ago, he deplores how young scholars are advised "to aim at corporate approval, at the sacrifice of the difficult thing that intellectual self-knowledge may be. There has never been a more desolate title of a scholarly essay than 'The Way We Think Now.'" That is true enough, even though the late Clifford Geertz, who wrote the classic essay of that title, was jaunty, even insouciant, while contemplating the barbarians inside the academy's gates, quite unlike Bromwich, whose lamentations are keen. In his opening remarks, Bromwich directed our attention to two different forces that he believes darken the prospects for free inquiry in the contemporary academy: the growing influence of learning [End Page 557] assessment experts who demand that scholarship and teaching undergo a kind of cost-benefit accounting to demonstrate their utility to students; and the countervailing influence of the intellectual fashionistas of the academic left, who beat the drum of "social justice" in an effort to secure "safe spaces" for individuals belonging to previously marginalized and oppressed groups. As Bromwich puts it, the most militant proponents of social justice on campuses "have discouraged the inquisitive instincts that nourish education quite as effectually as the funding giants who demand to know the cash value of every course a student might take." Even worse, "the branch of the humanities that has gone furthest to make a fetish of 'resistance' and 'transgression' has itself sponsored protocols of intellectual conformity as thoroughly routinized as any in academic history." The three panelists who convened the day after Bromwich's keynote to discuss the challenges to scholarly knowledge in the humanities were a diverse group, including Daniel Kevles, a historian of science; Rosalind Morris, an anthropologist with a strong interest in the humanities; and Akeel Bilgrami, a multifaceted philosopher from an analytic background. In his paper, Daniel Kevles issued a salutary reminder that the pursuit of useful results in applied research sometimes fosters progress in fundamental knowledge in the sciences—it would be too glib simply to denounce all forms of instrumental inquiry. The American land grant research universities that sprang up in the nineteenth century were built, in part, on the promise that they would produce advances in knowledge that would prove useful to society as a whole. I would add that it is also worth recalling how Enlightenment proponents of universal education, such as Condorcet, hoped that the spread of free public schools would be instrumental in fostering "real equality, the final end of the social art," by enabling all citizens to "have the knowledge necessary to conduct himself in the ordinary affairs of life, according to the light of his own reason, to preserve his mind free from prejudice, to understand his rights and to exercise [End Page 558] them in accordance with his conscience and his creed" (Condorcet [1794] 2012, 126). Rosalind Morris, in sharp contrast to Kevles, issued a sweeping denunciation of the instrumental focus of the "corporate university"—and she clearly received Bromwich's keynote address as the provocation he intended. At one point in her spoken remarks, she made plain her core disagreement with him: deploring his lack of sympathy for students seeking safe spaces, she declared that "the problem is that there should be an aspiration for an imagination of the place of the other."1...

BackgroundPoor knowledge of the language has been identified as a barrier to up-to-date occupational safety and health information, however, this question has not been addressed in the context of occupational safety and health expert competence in providing advice for employers in a small, non-English speaking country.ObjectivesTo analyze the available data on the use of languages for searching professional information by occupational safety and health (OSH) experts, and the sources of information on COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic in Latvia, and to assess if the knowledge of the English language among these experts is sufficient to react rapidly and effectively in case of emergency.MethodsData were compiled from several different sources: three web-based surveys of occupational safety and health experts (data from 2006, 2010, and 2018) and ten focus group discussions with employers and occupational safety and health experts (data from 2020).ResultsThe results of the surveys show that between 2006 and 2018, the percentage of respondents using only one language (Latvian) for searching professional information in occupational safety and health has increased from 25 to 35.3%. In 2018, the English language was mentioned by only 42.8% of respondents and Russian by 46.8%. During the focus group discussions, the use of English was mentioned for obtaining trustful information from international organizations, for analysis of information received within international companies, for searching international experience, and for finding county-specific information.DiscussionOur study shows that knowledge of the English language for occupational safety and health experts working in Latvia is not sufficient. The companies providing external occupational safety and health services should establish a well-functioning internal training system to provide their non-English speaking experts with up-to-date information. Occupational safety and health-related non-governmental institutions should strengthen their capacity in sharing information related to different occupational safety and health aspects into the national language (Latvian in this particular case).

BACKGROUND:COVID-19 pandemic has changed the life of people in many facets, economic, social, and psychological. Frontline health-care workers (HCWs) fighting against this pandemic faced some psychological as well as social issues which are of major concern. The objective of the study is to evaluate the magnitude of mental health problems, namely depression, anxiety, and stress among frontline HCWs as well as their perception on ongoing events and surroundings.MATERIALS AND METHODS:It was a prospective, observational study on n = 85 HCWs over a 4-month period. Study participants were sampled purposively in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria; data were collected by online survey method. A semi-structured scale was used: Part A of which assessed the demography and perception of HCWs on surrounding along with ongoing social events and Part B consisted of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 that was used to assess mental health issues. All the associations were tested in percentages and proportions. Statistics was calculated by using SPSS 24th version.RESULTS:Majority of the participants were female doctors and belonged to 21–30 years' age group. Most of them were marginally worried of contacting infection (73%) but were substantially apprehensive of transmitting infection to their family (56.5%) and hoped positive outcome ultimately in the form of recovery from infection. Majority (96.4%) gathered information from authentic sources and were confident of adequacy of their knowledge. Majority (88.3%) were satisfied about their occupational safety and responded on scientific solution of pandemic. However, we got a mixed result about their professional appreciation. Depression symptom score was higher than anxiety and stress symptom score in our participants.CONCLUSIONS:Doctors and nurses both were suffering from mental health issues, and provision of adequate information and occupational safety may lessen these burdens.

Throughout the last century, much has been made of international organisation by students of international relations. Originally alerted by hostilities that eventually culminated in World War I, many students of international relations have exhibited a pragmatic liberal persuasion and an ‘international mind’. They have analysed, and advocated, organised cooperation in the League of Nations (LoN) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as the appropriate strategy to cope with threats to peace and problems induced by growing interdependence. The intensification of political and socio-economic crises around the globe has only confirmed internationalists about their purpose. For they have become ever more enthusiastic about the United Nations Organisation (UNO), the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the European Union (EU), the World Bank System (WB), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) etc. being harbingers of peace, progress, and, respectively, social justice. Based on what they have meant that international organisations are and do, liberal internationalists have assumed an active stance to strengthen their performance, and to thus making the world a better place. Their enthusiasm has even led them to bemoan a new intellectual approach to international relations and organisation. In their opinion, studying international relations and organisations only through textbooks and from within academic institutions has proven inadequate. They now maintain that “[e]ven when the relevance of international affairs to everyday life is recognized intellectually, it is difficult to give the student a sense of how it feels to be a decision-maker at the national and international level.” Many internationalists have deplored what they see as a gap between the academic study of international relations and the active participation in the fora of international organisations. They thus deem it important to change the way students are being familiarised with international relations and organisations. They endorse what they perceive as a ‘paradigmatic shift’ in international relations teaching, namely the use of simulations and case studies, which arguably help teachers move both the world of international relations and the settings of various international organisations away from textbooks and lecture to where the action is. And indeed, since the days when it was at first popularised by

Background Integrated and collaborative efforts between stakeholders, including Government, private sector, labour unions, academic and research institutions, and other national and international NGOs in Mozambique, are working to improve occupational safety and health (OSH) conditions. Although the International Organisation of Work has adopted international OSH development recommendations and competencies to improve specific OSH training and education, this practice has yet to be implemented. Objectives This study examined the Mozambican national education and training system for OSH workforce development (both higher education students and continuing education of workers). Methods A literature review included government documents and reports about technical and professional education. Primary data was collected using surveys and interviews of the principal leaders in OSH (General Inspector of Work, Departments of Education and higher education institutions). Results In 2009, none of the 14 functioning public higher education institutions had a complete degree course in OSH. Currently, the OSH capacity has greatly improved, particularly due to the increased international mega-investments by multinationals in the mining, natural gas and oil industries. The major tertiary institutions, of which Eduardo Mondlane University is one, currently have academic degrees with focus either in occupational or environmental safety. There is also a proliferation of short-term training courses in OSH, given in collaboration with international organisations such as the South African National Occupational Safety Association (NOSA) and Bureau Veritas, among others. Some technical school courses cover basic levels of OSH; these are short duration offerings to help international consultants in these disciplines. Discussion As the exact formation, content and effectiveness of OSH workforce development is not known, a comprehensive evaluation needs to be conducted urgently, as a starting point for effective OSH workforce development. This evaluation will permit the identification of strategies and interventions that can be adopted in Mozambique, including OSH models used in other countries like South Africa, Europe, Brazil and the USA.

Introduction Despite no reform of workplace health &amp; safety legislation since the colonial-era 1942, Sri Lanka has gradually progressed on workplace safety due to adherence of international standards by large-scale local and multinational workplaces. Safety practises are however widely deficient in small and medium-scale enterprises, as well as in the informal sector. Practise of occupational health and hygiene is elementary, and the concepts are not well understood by many organisations, including some multinational organisations, who employ Occupational (and environmental) safety and health officers. Methods To recognise the challenges faced in practising occupational health and hygiene, formal interviews and group discussions were held in Sri Lanka with senior management, human resources personnel, EHS personnel, the medical fraternity, and the local ILO office. Results Outdated &amp; ineffective regulations as well as the lack of awareness of occupational health among key stakeholders, including the government authority, EHS professionals, organisational management, healthcare professionals, and employees were prominent barriers. A program of actions including international collaboration was proposed by stakeholders to improve occupational health and hygiene. Discussion and Conclusion A collaborative effort between the Sri Lankan government and workplaces, with support from international agencies and international professional bodies is needed to improve occupational health within the country. As an initial step, occupational medicine expertise was harnessed to raise awareness of OH among professionals, and capabilities of the labour inspectorate on basic occupational hygiene &amp; ergonomics is being built. These international collaborations can close the gap in a failing healthcare system to improve worker health in Sri Lanka during an economically challenged period.

The International Labor Organization (ILO) is one of the most significant international organizations dealing with workers' problems. In 2019, this organization celebrated its 100th anniversary. On that occasion, the ILO presented programs for work improvement for the coming period. In this regard, the Director-General of this organization has published a document entitled ＂The Future of Work Centenary Initiative＂. Based on the analysis of this document, it was noted that the ergonomics and its possibilities of contributing to the improvement of the work and working conditions of workers were not mentioned in this initiative, which presents an omission in terms of the possibility to achieve a complete humanization of work. It was also noted that the contributions of some other scientific disciplines in this direction were also not recognized. One of the main contributions of this paper manifests in the identification and systematization of the main areas that have an impact on work improvement. It has been identified 14 such areas. Only by developing all the identified areas and engaging experts in those areas can a comprehensive and complete improvement of the work and well-being of workers in the future be ensured. Part of the paper is devoted to the role of ergonomics in improving the work and position of workers, as well as the possibility of closer cooperation between the ILO and international ergonomic organizations such as the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) and the Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES).

Introduction: This paper examines the recognition of occupational health and safety (OHS) as a fundamental human right and its implications for Nigerian workers. It highlights the need for employers and governments to prioritize workers’ safety and reviews the challenges faced by Nigerian employers in providing a safe working environment. Methods: A critical review of existing literature and secondary sources of information was conducted to explore the meaning of fundamental human rights as they pertain to OHS. The paper investigated the need for recognizing OHS as a fundamental right and the role of governments and employers in fulfilling this right. Results: The recognition of OHS as a fundamental human right is crucial in protecting workers’ lives and promoting decent work, leading to economic and social benefits. Employers, governments, and international organizations must respect, protect, and fulfill this right for all workers. The adoption of OHS as a fundamental right would encourage governments to introduce legislation promoting a culture of safety and sensitizing businesses to the need to implement policies, procedures, and processes to provide a safe working environment, including standard safety training and adequate resources. Conclusion: Adopting OHS as a human right is beneficial for the workforce but requires investments from employers to comply. The Ministry of Labor and Employment in Nigeria should ensure that all accidents are reported and recorded to build a useful database. Improving OHS in Nigeria necessitates compliance, training, and access to resources. Accurate data is crucial to develop effective solutions for workplace accidents.
