Abstract Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, globalization, demographic changes, the introduction of new technologies, and possible risks of new pandemics and emergencies have enhanced the ethical challenges in public health and occupational health. It is the ethical duty of occupational health experts to be prepared for such challenges. Prediction of future risks is an essential strategy for ensuring our preparedness. In both the preparedness and actual response, confidentiality, objectivity, integrity, conflict of interest, and communication about health hazards are important for experts in their relationships with individual workers, with employers and employees’ representatives, colleagues in the health sector, and the public.
