Resumen: En este artículo se estudia el impacto de la crisis de la COVID‐19 en las trabajadoras domésticas del Brasil, a partir de los datos de una encuesta realizada con la Federação Nacional das Trabalhadoras Domésticas (FENATRAD). Los resultados del análisis, centrados en el empleo y los ingresos, la seguridad y salud en el trabajo y la vulneración de derechos, muestran la extrema polarización entre quienes perdieron su fuente de sustento y quienes tuvieron que seguir trabajando a costa de la salud y de los derechos humanos básicos. Más allá de las circunstancias excepcionales, las autoras sostienen que esta situación fue posible por las condiciones preexistentes de exclusión jurídica y precariedad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen: En los dos decenios siguientes a la adopción del Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, la OIT aplicó un enfoque realista al defender que el ejercicio de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo (SST) como derecho fundamental pasaba por garantizar ciertas condiciones económicas previas. El presente estudio histórico‐comparativo pasa revista a la actuación de la OIT en ese contexto, a la luz del nuevo complejo de incertidumbre sanitaria mundial y de la incorporación de la SST al marco de principios y derechos fundamentales en el trabajo. Se analiza también la aplicabilidad de un enfoque de realismo vigilante a la labor actual de la OIT en este campo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to understand the perception of entrepreneurs in the productive sector of the city of Ibagué regarding specific trainings and competencies of professionals around Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) that meet the expectations of the current market. Methodologically, a quantitative approach was adopted, and information was collected from 42 companies through a survey that evaluated the entrepreneurs' perception of graduates in the ohs program using a Likert scale. The results suggest that higher education should focus on developing competencies in planning and organization, as they are crucial for the business sector. Additionally, the study argues that collaboration between the university and companies can improve competitiveness, promote innovation and regional development, and empower graduates as a competitive advantage.

Using the theoretical-methodological perspective based on experience frameworks, this paper aims at analyzing and understanding the way in which organizations communicate aspects that are related to occupational safety and health. In this sense, we carry out an analysis of the narratives related to this topic and propose a diagnosis mechanism to subjectively measure the burden of the regulatory, strategic, and moral frameworks of these narratives. A panel of Latin American experts applied a three-round Delphi analysis on five case studies in Colombia to illustrate how this mechanism works. In addition to the use of a robust research paradigm, this work contributes by proposing a scheme capable of presenting the motivations and interests of occupational safety and health professionals in perspective, finding imbalances in the way relevant information is transmitted through official messages and channels. Therefore, its use is susceptible to study in this and other areas of knowledge of the organizational discipline, and its adoption could be worthwhile in order to generate more and better knowledge in this regard.

The objective -fully achieved- of this research was traced according to the compatibility of the common requirements within the process of design and implementation of Integrated Quality Management Systems, Environment, Health and Safety at Work and Energy. Or the combination of these variants, by the series of standards ISO 9001: 2015, ISO 14001: 2015, ISO 45001: 2018 and ISO 50001: 2019, as of the obsolescence of PAS 99: 2008, due to the update of the reference standards present in the title and body of this work and that they adopted a high level structure (HLS), in addition to the lack of works that integrate the requirements of these standards with the idea of designing and implementing these management systems and taking into account their requirements for products and / or services of any company in the country or abroad. Brainstorming, the expert method, as well as statistical hypothesis tests were used as methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Participation in matter of Safety and Health at Work is a right of Venezuelan workers enshrined in the national legislation and international conventions ratified by the Republic. This article shows an approximation to a case study, in which it propitiated an approach with a group of workers in a social production company (SPC) in order to interpret the social representations that assign these workers to the participation in safety and health at work. It was used a comprehensiveinterpretation epistemic vision, under qualitative approach and phenomenological design. The speech of the actors revealed the existence of two figures of participation: The Council of Workers and the Delegates of Prevention; highlighting that the first has not observed a favorable performance to the promotion of safety and health at work and only the Delegates of Prevention have assumed this responsibility, but with very little support from the General Direction of the Company. The final discussion focuses on the social representations of workers about participation as a disappointment, by virtue of that has not translated into effective practices to ensure dignified and safe conditions at work. In synthesis, the context of the studied SPC has not been favorable for the participation of the workers in the field of safety and health at work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Safety and health in the workplace should be the object of a dialog focused on the physical and mental care of the worker. This study aims to determine the ways that labor unions participate in safety and health at the workplace, according to the regulations. This objective is approached through a descriptive-documentary research strategy supported by the analytical method. It considers that the real and factual forms of labor union participation in this matter are not congruent with the covenants emanating from the International Labor Organization (ILO). The study proposes defining the constant, increasing interviews between State, workers and employers, as social labor dialog. Finally, the study recommends resurgence for the role of unionism that, in Venezuela, has been marked by corporate traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
