Abstract

Despite availability of methods to control workplace hazards, billions of working people worldwide lack access to a safe working environment. Global trade and economic policies shape the determinants of and the institutional and human resources to deal with workplace hazards. In addition to gender and migrancy, new vulnerabilities related to casualization have been generated under globalization. Occupational health services, regulatory standard setting, human resource capacity development, surveillance, and hazard communication need to take account of the impact of global trade and economic policies on health. This is illustrated in the challenges posed by HIV to working populations globally.
