Major hurdles # • Poor training in OEH. • Bias of the professional class against the workers • Studies done on workers not available to anyone except to the select few who are conducting the study. • Medical certification not given to workers easily. • Disability certification, which is required for compensation, not understood by doctors and hence not given to workers. # Murlidhar.V, , Demystifying occupational and environmental health: experience in India, PRIA publication.
• Difficult access to the Internet due to shortage of resources. • All information being in English (some Latin and Greek), there is a serious difficulty in understanding the language. • Under funded workers insurance system (the ESI), and understaffed and poorly trained personnel and also general apathy among the staff of ESI scheme. • Lawyers ( pro-worker ) having poor knowledge of many progressive legislations in OEH.
