Why, there is no interest among industrial headquarters to invest in occupational health, despite all adequate background, including legal forces?
There may be various reasons, some of which are recognized and discussed. What is very well documented is that occupational health plays a vital role in promoting workers' health and has many positive consequences for the worker and their families. Reducing a worker’s life expectancy or a worker’s death could have a lot of financial and spiritual damages for both his own and his dependents.
The number of an individual’s healthy life years has a positive correlation with the level of financial and spiritual welfare of his dependence. Additionally, industrial owners would have more benefits, which means more financial and spiritual gain. The direct and indirect effects of losing labor, particularly specialized labor, on industrial benefits are undeniable. Nevertheless, in particular, in developing countries, middle- to high-level industrial managers do not tend to
expend much money on occupational health! Why? Based on this author's point of view, for derivation, we should take a look at all the years of our education, both in school and university. Our education, which is derived from various factors, including political, cultural, social, and even ideological, is responsible. Sometimes, a misunderstanding of these factors or a combination of these factors could be the reason.
Further, human personality is so complicated, and what he experience during his life, modify his understanding from what he learn!
In conclusion, it seems that in many developing countries, we need to institutionalize human values in our children, as they have no opposition to political, cultural, social, and ideological values, and should persist in valuing the worth of human souls. These learnings should result in a positive change in our children's attitude, particularly in the first years of their life, until the time they become our politicians, managers, and industrial managers.
