Beyond the Clock: Why Health, Safety, and Societal Well-being Must Drive Ghana's 24-Hour Economy

By Yaw S Banahene, enviroSAFE Ghana Ltd

A Bold Vision: Paving the Way for Sustainable Growth

Ghana's ambitious move toward a 24-hour economy, encapsulated in the 24H+ Programme, marks a defining national moment. Boldly framed as an "integrated solution" and a "holistic programme of systemic transformation," it promises unprecedented productivity, vast new opportunities, and heightened global competitiveness. This vision of relentless growth aims for businesses that never sleep and industries that evolve into non-stop engines of economic acceleration, purposefully breaking with traditional, piecemeal interventions.

However, for all its promise and sophisticated design, this transformation carries consequences extending beyond the balance sheets. A thriving economy isn't just about numbers; it's fundamentally about the people who sustain it, the infrastructure that upholds it, and the communities within it. If Ghana's 24-hour economy is to succeed, its vital human and operational dimensions—health, safety, and societal well-being—must not be sacrificed in the drive for expansion. Indeed, Ghana's existing occupational health and safety (OHS) framework is fragmented and often lacks comprehensive enforcement, posing a significant pre-existing challenge. These areas must be treated as indispensable pillars, robustly built into this new economic model, ensuring 24H+ truly integrates every vital link in the value chain.

The Hidden Strain: A Workforce Pushed to Its Limits

Behind every factory, logistics hub, or commercial district operating around the clock, there's a workforce facing unprecedented challenges. While the ASPIRE24 Sub-Programme rightly aims to cultivate a "highly skilled, ethically grounded, digitally fluent workforce" linked to "workplace readiness," this vision must explicitly safeguard the physical and mental health of these invaluable human assets.

The human body isn't designed for indefinite productivity. Fatigue, stress, and irregular sleep patterns are significant health risks with long-term consequences. Occupational hazards multiply in a system demanding more, often with little regard for recuperation. Manufacturing industries face an increase in accidents, transportation sectors see increased human error, and healthcare professionals contending with extended hours grapple with high stress levels directly affecting patient care. Ghana's fragmented OHS framework means these risks are compounded, potentially leading to higher incidences of injury and illness. Psychological burnout looms as employees struggle to maintain work-life balance. The policy's goal of creating "quality jobs" necessitates a proactive approach to prevent these strains from eroding productivity and well-being.
