Abstract:
As the world is moving towards industrialization, there is an increasing awareness of environmental influences on the health and safety of workers, and in communities near industrial establishments. The Philippines in its endeavor to become a newly industrialized country, is increasingly confronted with problems regarding health and safety of workers, and with the environmental health impact of industrialization on nearby communities.
