Description
This book integrates theory, data, and case examples to analyze workplace health and safety battles and the roles of such key players as labor, public health professionals, management, regulatory bodies, and the state. Wooding and Levenstein explore the point of production - where raw materials are fashioned into products - situating health and environmental issues within their political, economic, and social contexts. Also examined is the point of production, or the rationale that guides industrial decision-making, and how it measures up against the human costs.
First Sentence
The most telling and significant changes in the national and international economic order in the past twenty years-the growth of new markets and the disappearance of old ones, new technologies, new competitors, demographic shifts, and shifts in investment-all directly affect production and work.
