III. Occupational Disease in International Perspective

Occupational Disease: Cancer of the Philippine Business Sector


The international community, especially the United States of America, doesn’t see the issue as a laughing matter. In fact, specializing research and regulating bodies have been established to cater to the cause and adhere to international standardizing guidelines in relation to occupational safety and health. These bodies commit to the improvement and more efficient management of Environment, Health and Safety within public and private organizations in a global scale.


A complaint of an ailing worker in the US against a company unwilling to render disability compensations and benefits can easily lead to a half-million law suit, and similar cases are not unusual in their justice system. The information dissemination on the rights of US citizens regarding occupational safety and health is incredibly high as there is an active propagation of labor laws as initiated both by the government and private sectors. Such issues also catch significant media attention which proves that safety and health matters at work are growing interests in their culture.

Do Filipinos act the same with such violation of their right?
