While the nature of the problems, hazards and risks has changed, the traditional hazards and particularly the
new problems of work life still need much expert knowledge, research, training and information in order to be
controlled, managed and prevented‖ (ICOH, 2006). These emotional statements further express the
frustration faced by health and safety experts and other researchers engaged in finding an antidote to OHS
related problems in the developing world. This challenge has arisen perhaps because of the rapid
industrialisation taking place in the developing world as a result of globalisation. The globalisation process
has not succeeded in equalising the condition of work, in fact, the opposite has occurred; the gaps are
increasing. Poverty, inequality and under-development are closely associated with poor safety, health and
social conditions of work, as they are also linked with illiteracy, lack of education, poor access to health
services and low or non-existent social protection (ICOH, 2006). Thus globalisation and its associated
changing nature of work has made the management of OHS more challenging than ever. The majority of the
developing countries have very poor investment in research and still have many unsolved problems (WHO,
2007) particularly in the area of OHS and the changing nature of work.
