In recent decades, the main morals that affect the relationships between human work, the economy and health, have often obtained clear and authorized definitions. However, scientific breakthroughs, market forces, civil and penal laws and the ethical codes of the health profession, do not provide updated answers to the ethical problems that arise in many aspects of modern work. This article develops several types of conflict between interests and values. The conflict between the right to live, health and the safety of the workers, and the right of companies to "maximise" production. The conflicts that affect information: the rights of the workers to be aware of risks and hazards, the rights of the companies to industrial and commercial secrecy, the right and duties of professional experts. The conflicts between production and external environment, between workers and the population. The conflicts between workers themselves, and finally, the conflicts between work, reproductive health and reproduction of life.
近几十年来，影响人类工作、经济与健康之间关系的主要道德观念常常得到明确且权威的定义。然而，科学突破、市场力量、民法与刑法以及卫生行业的道德准则，并未为现代工作诸多方面出现的伦理问题提供最新的答案。本文阐述了几种利益与价值观之间的冲突。生存权、健康权与工人安全权，与公司“最大化”生产的权利之间的冲突。影响信息的冲突：工人了解风险和危害的权利、公司的工商业保密权、专业专家的权利与职责。生产与外部环境之间的冲突、工人与民众之间的冲突。工人自身之间的冲突，以及最后，工作、生殖健康与生命繁衍之间的冲突。
