ICOH International Code of Ethics for Occupational Health Professionals : Historical fortune and future perspectives in ItalyThe Working Group responsible for the Italian translation of the third edition of the International Code of Ethics, appointed by the President of the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), Dr. Jukka Takala, completed last April the revision work. The final text, already available on the ICOH website, has been printed and distributed by the Italian National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL) at the 79th National Congress of the Italian Society of Occupational Medicine and Industrial Hygiene (SIMLII), in Rome. The curators of this third Italian edition have accomplished the delicate task of adaptation in Italian, taking into account the specificities of the practice of medicine in the Italian work environment. It involves many professionals with diverse roles and responsibilities in the public and private sectors for safety, hygiene, health and environment in relation to work. More than twenty years after the first Italian edition, we trace the evolution of the ICOH International Code of Ethics, in order to focus its birth, national and international distribution, and continuous improvement as well as its ability to direct the stakeholders towards a participatory prevention model, in a legislative framework that has seen over the past two decades a radical change in the Italian world of work.

On culture, ethics and hierarchy: How cultural variations in hierarchical relations are manifested in the code of ethics of British and Korean organizationsThe present research examined if cultural differences in the extent to which hierarchical relations dictate individuals’ behaviors are embedded in objective institutional regulations. Using quantitative and qualitative analysis, we examined codes of ethics of Korean and British organizations in relation to working relationships and corruptive behaviors. We found that, unlike British organizations, Korean organizations endorsed codes of ethics that place greater emphasis on hierarchical relations and contained prescriptions for individuals occupying senior or junior ranks. Ethical codes also appeared to be geared more towards preventing the abuse of power in Korean organizations compared with British organizations. Finally, unlike British organizations, Korean organizations often permitted top-down exchanges (not bottom-up exchanges), suggesting that in upper echelons benevolence may be more normative in Korean organizations than in British organizations.

Del Código Ético a la Convención Internacional. Un panorama crítico de la Organización Mundial del Turismo desde la perspectiva del cosmopolitismoEste trabajo aborda una revisión crítica de la naturaleza del orden cosmopolita que impulsa la Organización Mundial del Turismo. Ante el crecimiento de la actividad turística y de los retos que plantea, este organismo especializado de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas ha promovido formalmente el desarrollo equitativo, responsable y sostenible del turismo. Sin embargo, la crítica a los principios desde los que esta organización modela el turismo ha puesto en el punto de mira los objetivos que persigue. La conversión de esos principios, recogidos en el Código Ético Mundial para el Turismo, adoptado en 1999, en una convención internacional, aprobada en septiembre de 2017, plantea un nuevo escenario que este trabajo esboza desde la perspectiva del cosmopolitismo.

Redescubrimiendo los códigos de conducta para la ISP médica. Cultura, dilemas y papel profesional.Los códigos deontológicos, en cuanto cristalización de la ética profesional de los intérpretes médicos, han sido objeto de críticas y alabanzas, pero son más bien escasos los análisis profundos de estos documentos, a pesar de que algunas cuestiones como el papel profesional o la gestión de las diferencias culturales siguen estando en el centro del debate académico. Este estudio analiza los códigos éticos más visibles en la ISP médica a la luz de dos temas: la comunicación intercultural, a fin de identificar si los textos proponen un papel profesional que tiene en cuenta la función mediadora intercultural y, en ese caso, extraer las competencias interculturales que se concreten; y los dilemas morales, extraídos de textos externos a la muestra, para determinar si los documentos analizados resultan aplicables a esos dilemas y, por tanto, útiles en ese sentido.

Aplicación de la deontología en una empresa “Procesadora VYMSA” de producción industrialIn this document we will show how the Quality Control department is the base in a production company and for this reason they reach the level of committing irregularities in the processes of approval of the procedures and quality standards controls so that the Production is what customers demand and therefore the company, given that this is an important area that allows to control the ethics of workers to give a safety and satisfaction in the finished product until reaching the consumer. Ethics, since it is understood as the moral and professional values that should be deprived among taxpayers of any discipline regardless of the professional association to which it belongs, is always of vital importance in a society to seek transparency, hence the basis of the success of the process of improvement in a specific production company is the proper establishment of good quality control, which can accurately define what is expected of employers, as well as the products and services that are provided with satisfaction to customers. The quality control department in a company is a more important area in a production company since it controls the quality of the products, this department depends on respecting the quality standards created by the company or international standards and the requirements internal or external to this department has led them to commit irregularities in the control processes and not respect their professional ethics. Through the knowledge of deontology, it could be possible for all the people that make up the quality control departments to recover their ethics as professionals and better the quality of the different products of the company.
