In the occupational health setting, codes developed by international agencies have substantial import on protecting working populations from harm. This is particularly so under globalisation which has transformed processes of production in fundamental ways across the globe. As part of the process of revising the Ethical Code of the International Commission on Occupational Health, an Africa Working Group addressed key challenges for the relevance and cogency of an ethical code in occupational health for an African context through an iterative consultative process. 2016-04-24T10:07:54Z 2016-04-24T10:07:54Z 2014 Article http://hdl.handle.net/11408/976 en BMC Medical Ethics;Vol. 15, No. 48 open |
