About This Course

Occupational Health in Developing Countries addresses the world of work at its most challenging: where informal employment, weak enforcement and hazardous industries concentrate. Three focused modules cover the foundations and global burden of occupational injury and disease, the physical, chemical, biological and psychosocial hazards that dominate developing-economy workplaces (with special attention to vulnerable workers), and what it takes to build occupational health systems and deliver a capstone workplace intervention.
