I don't know if this is the best place for this thread, but feel free to move it if it has a better location.
By profession, I am a consultant in the field of Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S). Professionally, I am registered as an Occupational Hygienist and, no, I don't clean teeth. The field concerns itself with the safety and health of workers in industries, institutions (hospitals, schools, offices) and construction.
There are many organizations in North America that deal with worker safety and health issues. One of these orgs is the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), of which I am a member. I did sit, and will again, on the AIHA International Affairs Committee. I have asked a past Committee Chair if there are initiatives toward investigating and improving the level of worker health and safety in the DR specifically, and on other Caribbean islands as well.
What I need from other DR1 posters are thoughts, stories, advice, examples, etc about the worker safety situation in the DR. I saw a few things last week that were out of whack, but did not have the time or knowledge where to look for the big picture. I will throw this open for your responses.
