The Implications of Labour Market Restructuring in Industrialised Societies for Occupational Health and Safety

Working Papers from The University of New South Wales. Department of Industrial Relations.

Abstract: Significant changes to employment structures within industrialised countries over the past 20 years are likely to have profound ramifications for occupational health and safety (OHS). There has been some awareness that changes in the level of employment within particular industries over time, notably the decline in employment within heavy manufacturing, might have beneficial effects in terms of reducing the number of workers exposed to long standing hazards.
