Why is it that despite of some countries developing their SMS which are benchmarked with the ISO 18000 series, 14001 and 45001, it has been noted at a greater extent that employers from various sectors in African countries are getting free from these criminal offenses being committed. Its so worrying that the blame is slumped on individual victims even where HSWA Acts 1974 has seen to have been violated by these employers. Why can’t these laws be standardized internationally.
