It also requires that certain practices or tools in the workplace, such as masks, cameras, and devices that measure hazards or exposure levels, exist. The OHS Law and the Risk Assessment Regulation underline the importance of taking security measures to eliminate or decrease potential risks at workplaces. Even though progressive and essential legislation that aim to prevent work-related accidents, fatal injuries, and deaths has been on the rise in the recent years, the obligations that are imposed by the Law are not adequately inspected.

Occupational health and safety issues are becoming more visible in developing countries. The type and the structure of the economy, unemployment, absence of regulations and codes in occupational health and safety or absence of implementations and control can be listed as the main reasons for the high number of work-related diseases, injuries, risks and deaths in developing countries.

Employers often focus on maximization of profits and production; therefore, the health of the workers becomes a secondary issue for them. Workers with no other available alternative accept the risky jobs and they generally focus on the economic conditions presented by the job rather than considering the health and safety-related issues.

The freedom and autonomy of the workers should be supported provided that the workers also have the freedom to reject a work contract and have other reasonable alternatives. In conclusion, it should be emphasized that individual consent to risk does not take away responsibility from society. Society should act so as to enhance the unsafe working conditions and occupational risks.

Society is also responsible, however, not only for the health of its members, but also for occupational health and risks. Non-governmental institutions can have a significant role in occupational health and safety by offering certifications of particular occupational health and safety measures for employers.
