Over the past decades, the world has seen a shift of industry and services to developing countries. This often seems to be connected to higher productivity and multinationals have been reported to often enjoy the absence of (or presence of weak) regulatory systems to benefit their profit margins [1,2] resulting in jobs hazardous to workers’ health. Generally, the growth of large multinational companies has been accompanied by greater decentralization, outsourcing and flexible work environments, with wide variations in the conditions of work and in exposure to occupational hazards [3] and linked to poor working conditions followed by high incidence of occupational diseases and accidents. Voyi stresses that poorer countries remain indebted to the rich, so resources are ever-scarce for their own development, which causes an ethical vacuum and a negative impact on workers’ health. Without effective interventions internationally, the process of globalization could be used to take advantage of vulnerable people [4].
