OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY IN KENYA.pdf
The Constitution of Kenya (2010) Bill of Rights provides that every citizen has right to fair labour practices, reasonable working conditions and clean and healthy environment. The history of Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) in Kenya dates back to the 1950s when the need to have a legal instrument to manage the safety, health and welfare of factory employees became indispensable. The then British government adopted the British Factories Act of 1937. The Act was later amended in 1990 to Factories and Other Places of Work Act to widen its scope of coverage to additional workplaces initially not included under the Factories Act of 1937. Kenya has ratified and adopted 49 ILO Conventions out of which ten are OSH-related. The country compiled its first national profile on OSH in 2004, while the most recent one was compiled in 2013 (ILO, 2013). The profile provides labour market insights necessary for creating a safe and healthy workplace ecosystem in the country.
In 2007, the Factories and Other Places of Work Act was repealed and replaced by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (2007), [3] commonly known as OSHA 2007. In the same year, the Work Injury Benefits Act (WIBA) [4] was enacted. The Occupational Safety and Health Act promotes safety at workplace, preventing work-related injuries and sickness, while protecting third party individuals from being predisposed to higher risk of injury and sickness associated with activities of people at places of work. The Work Injury Benefits Act was enacted to ensure that workers who sustain work-related injuries and contract diseases that are work-related get compensated. Inspection and enforcement systems exist with a bearing to occupational safety, health, and labour inspections. Inspections related to environment at work, such as safety of workplaces, general health and basic welfare of workers are executed by the Directorate of Occupational Health and Safety Services – DOSHS – to ensure compliance with OSHA (2007). Specifically, the core roles of DOSHS include: inspection of workplaces to foster.
Compliance with safety and health law; measurement of workplace pollutants for purposes of their control; investigation of occupational accidents and diseases and aiming to prevent recurrence; examination and testing of steam boilers, steam and air receivers, lifts, gas cylinders, cranes chains among other lifting equipment; training on OSH, first aid and fire safety; approving of architectural plans of buildings intended to serve as workplaces; medical

Trends in the distribution of income By Louise Zaccagnini
Australia has one of the more unequal distributions of income and wealth among developed nations. Most of the population earns less than the average weekly income, while a small number of households have relatively high incomes. Various demographic factors influence individuals' income levels. Younger and older aged people typically earn less, as do those with lower educational qualifications. Women and those in certain occupations tend to earn less than men. Immigrants from non-English speaking countries and Indigenous Australians often have lower incomes compared to Australian-born and English-speaking immigrant groups.

Distribution of Income and Wealth
This document summarizes trends in income distribution in Australia. It notes that while income inequality has fallen recently, Australia still has high inequality compared to other developed nations. It discusses gender pay gaps, with women on average earning less than men. Ethnic minorities also typically earn less than the majority. While inequality provides some benefits, it can reduce overall well-being, economic growth, consumption, and investment, particularly impacting those with lower incomes as prices rise.
Ben's Distribution of Income Analogy
Matt Leslie ran out of canned tomatoes and went to the shops to buy more but could not decide between two cans, so he bought both. Pleased with his solution, Matt cheered as he now had two tomato cans and was able to afford them because the income in his country is well distributed.
Measures of Effectiveness of Employment Relations
Measures of effectiveness of employment relations include staff turnover rates, product quality, absenteeism levels, disputes, and benchmarking against competitors. High staff turnover, poor quality products, high absenteeism, frequent disputes through strikes or lockouts, and below average performance on benchmarks compared to competitors can all indicate poor employment relations within a business.

Discrimination in the workplace occurs when people are treated unfairly due to characteristics like their race, gender, age, religion or disability. Examples include hiring someone of one ethnic background over another, not interviewing someone with a foreign name, or paying men higher wages than women for the same job. Australian laws like the Racial Discrimination Act and Sex Discrimination Act aim to prevent such discrimination and ensure equal opportunity and treatment in employment regardless of personal attributes.
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO)
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) aims to ensure all employees have equal access to workplace opportunities regardless of attributes like age, gender, race, religion, or disability. Discrimination often targets women, indigenous Australians, and ethnic/religious minorities. Examples include paying men higher wages or making sexist remarks. Australian laws like the Racial Discrimination Act and Sex Discrimination Act prohibit discrimination and unequal treatment. If discrimination continues, large fines, lawsuits, and imprisonment can result for the discriminator and business.
Features of globalisation
The key indicators of globalization include international trade flows, financial flows, and investment flows. International trade in goods and services has grown rapidly in recent years, with annual trade growth around twice the rate of world economic growth. This increase is largely due to transnational corporations that structure production across countries based on costs. Various trade agreements have also contributed to rising world trade by reducing trade barriers between member countries.
Issues and trends in the balance of payments
Australia's export base is heavily weighted towards primary products and commodities, giving it a "narrow" structure. This narrow export base exposes Australia to large fluctuations in commodity prices and negatively impacts the current account balance. While Australian governments have implemented reforms to broaden the export base and improve competitiveness, the structure remains heavily reliant on a small number of primary goods and commodities, posing risks for Australia's terms of trade and current account.
Regulation of the financial sector
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is the primary agency responsible for monitoring the conduct of companies in Australia's financial system and the Australian Stock Exchange. ASIC has the power to investigate whenever the integrity of the financial system is at risk, such as through illegal or unethical actions. ASIC's goals are to ensure Australia's financial markets are fair, transparent, and supported by informed investors and consumers. Recent ASIC investigations have included actions against an unlicensed financial advisor, directors of failed companies, and convictions for theft and deception offenses.
Redistribution of income
The document discusses redistribution of income by governments through taxation and social welfare payments. It defines key terms like progressive, regressive, and proportional taxation. It also provides a graph showing the redistributive effect of taxes and benefits in altering the distribution of private income across income quintiles in Australia. The government collects taxes to redistribute revenue to low-income earners through social welfare payments, which account for over 40% of government expenditure and help reduce income inequality.
Interest Rates
An interest rate is the cost of borrowing money expressed as a percentage of the total amount borrowed. Interest rates are not directly determined by supply and demand but are indirectly set by the Reserve Bank of Australia through its impact on the cash rate. There are different types of interest rates depending on whether an institution is borrowing or lending funds and the term of the financial assets. Factors like the demand for capital goods, savings levels, inflation expectations, and international rates can affect general interest rate levels in Australia. The Reserve Bank uses domestic market operations like buying and selling government securities to influence the cash rate and monetary policy.

of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
