This large hotel
construction site in Vietnam depicts the clash of often-different perceptions
of risk, risk tolerance than what may be encountered in the West. Occupational
health and safety issues in many countries also entail understanding
the requirements and expectations of a wide range of government agency
jurisdictions. Global Decisions has extensive experience in implementing
the appropriate resolutions in these difficult situations. ©Global Decisions |
An improperly protected
worker pours acid over wrought iron furniture in preparation for the
addition of surface coatings. Produced in large quantities in a very
large Asian factory, it will be shipped to the U.S. and sold through
several household-name companies’ store chains. These stores also
make public claims of having implemented a global environmental, health
and safety program. ©Global Decisions |
What appears to
be a pastoral scene in China is actually one of very serious water
and food chain pollution. Huge quantities of mercury, distantly
discharged upstream, have moved downstream, settled in the sediments
and moved into the food chain where it is consumed daily. The levels
of methyl mercury in fish from this major river far exceed levels
in the infamous Minimata, Japan mercury poisoning incident of the
1970s. Even though fishing is illegal, it is widely and openly practiced
due to the need for food. ©Global Decisions |
