Disease and mortality among gold miners of Ghana: Colonial government and mining company attitudes and policies, 1900–1938

Population decline induced by gonorrhoea and tuberculosis transmission: Micronesia during the Japanese occupation, 1919–45

“…Labour migration under colonial regimes has been associated with tuberculosis transmission via poor living and working conditions, inadequate diets, and circular migration. Native labour living conditions under colonial regimes were mostly crowded, unsanitary, and conducive to the spread of disease (DeLancey 1978; Dumett 1993; Manderson 1996; Packard 1989; MacPherson and Gushulak 2001; Patterson and Hartwig 1978). Often labourers caught infectious diseases at their place of work and then brought their newly acquired afflictions back home with them (Patterson and Hartwig 1978).…”

“…Often labourers caught infectious diseases at their place of work and then brought their newly acquired afflictions back home with them (Patterson and Hartwig 1978). In some cases labourers were repatriated because they were too sick to work, but in other cases the labourers were sent home after their work contract expired, only to become sick years later, which was often the case with tuberculosis (Dumett 1993; Packard 1989). …”

Colonial Origins of Comparative Development in Ghana

“…Mining operations degraded the lands, polluted air and local water resources, thereby disturbing biodiversity and posing tremendous health problems on the local people. In Ghana, for example, the first cases of respiratory and pulmonary diseases such as tuberculosis, silicosis and pneumonia erupted in and around mining towns (see Amo-Adjei et al, 2015;Dumett, 1993;Thomas, 1973). Thus, colonialism did not just merely exploit resources from the colonies, but it left behind wanton environmental and health problems with which post-independent African governments had to contend with.…”

Factors that Sustain Health and Safety Management Practices in the Food Industry

“…In the early days, industrial health and safety practices received minor attention of governments and companies engaging in extraordinary pollution and environmental degradation [62]. Considering the serious problems that influence health and safety practices of individuals, employees and workers in factories, industries, and communities, the government has shown its desire to use a mixture of overseas experts and inexpert local labors [16].…”
