Fighting fire with fire
Adaptation strategies by smallholder farmers to climate change and variability
In semi-arid regions, the biggest threat to agriculture is climate change. This is because agricultural activities in these regions rely heavily on rainfall thus making the communities there particularly vulnerable. Sustainable adaptation techniques are therefore one way to survive in these circumstances. The Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) is thus utilised in ascertaining the dynamics of the adaptation techniques that are being applied by farmers …
Determinants of motorcycle helmet availability and cost in retail outlets
Motorcycle helmets were available in some retail outlets in northern Ghana.

On-site personal protective equipment signage and use by road construction workers in Ghana
Majority of workers used shoes. Less than half of workers used other types of PPE and use of some types (goggles and hearing protection) was minimal. Workers in foreign-owned companies were significantly more likely to use all the seven types of PPE than locally-owned companies. Although there is still room for improvement in foreign-owned companies, locally-owned companies should be able to attain similar PPE use to that in foreign-owned compani…
Injury rate and risk factors among small-scale gold miners in Ghana
The annual injury incidence rate among small-scale gold miners is high. Potential targets for improving safety include increasing safety training, increasing use of personal protective equipment, and better understanding potential changes that can be made in the machinery and tools used in small-scale mining, which were associated with almost half of all injuries
