Workplace guidelines

Mental health problems are common in the workplace, but workers affected by such problems are not always well supported by managers and co-workers.

Only a decade ago, information and communication technologies (ICT) were drivers of growth. ME was regarded as a high- to medium-tech industry and considered to be lagging behind.

This study, the first to investigate workplace contamination in areas in Ghana where e-waste recycling and disposal is carried out, focussed on the main centre for this type of work, at the Agbogbloshie scrap market in Ghana’s capital, Accra. One of the numerous similar, though far smaller, operations that take place throughout Ghana was also investigated, at the location of a scrap dealer in Korforidua, a smaller city to the north of Accra. At these workshops, e-waste is recycled in a crude way, primarily involving manual disassembly and open burning to isolate copper from plastics.

On the other hand, women’s changing roles have also contributed to more role conflicts among certain groups of women such as managers (Kolk et al., 1999; Lundberg, 2002).
