Description
One of the biggest ethical challenges for occupational and environmental health professionals today is ensuring that corporate supply chains in the global economy effectively protect the health of workers, surrounding communities, and the environment. Numerous reports by the media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) over the last 15 years have documented how even first-tier suppliers for international "brand name" companies have frequently operated unsafe, unhealthy, and polluting factories. The conditions in second- or third-tier suppliers' plants are worse. The current global economic crisis threatens to make matters worse as cost-cutting measures can accelerate a "race to the bottom" in factory conditions and the adjacent communities. Webinar speakers will present a comprehensive perspective on meeting industrial hygienists' ethical responsibilities in an effective, sustainable and profitable manner.
