AB  - More  than  1.4  billion  people,  most  of  them  in  developing  countries,  work  in  hazardous  settings  or  occupations.  Despite  international  efforts,  the  number  of  workers  in  vulnerable  employment  increases  by  around  11  million  each  year.  Developing  countries  seldom  have  enforceable  occupational  and  environmental  regulations.  Occupational  health  should  have  high  priority  on  the  international  agenda,  but  occupational  safety  and  health  (OSH)  regulations  and  laws  cover  only  about  10%  of  workers  in  developing  countries  and  do  not  include  many  major  hazardous  industries  and  occupations.  Progress  in  bringing  occupational  health  to  the  industrializing  countries  is  painfully  slow.  In  some  of  the  poorest  countries,  there  has  been  no  progress  at  all.
