Reducing Inequalities Through Sustainable Digital Design: Assistive Technology Development for SDG 3 and SDG 10

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited access to appropriate assistive technologies (AT) remains a major barrier to health, well‐being, and social inclusion, particularly among vulnerable and marginalised populations. Addressing this challenge is central to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (Good Health and Well‐being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

Mineworkers' Perspectives on Whole‐Body Vibration Exposures in the Ghanaian Mining Industry

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across most industries, there appears to be greater commitment to occupational safety than to occupational health, largely because safety effects are readily observable, whereas health effects are hard to notice, as they take prolonged exposure to become apparent.
