Worker Representation and Health and Safety: Reflections on the Past, Present and Future

Chapter 10 in Workplace Health and Safety, 2009, pp 201-215 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is a truism to say that work has potential implications, both positive and negative, for the physical and mental well-being of those who undertake it. It is similarly clear that there is nothing inevitable about how far these implications are realised and hence the extent to which work serves to harm or enrich the lives of those undertaking paid labour. Rather, much depends on both the priority accorded to the protection and advancement of worker health and safety on the one hand, and the degree to which effective systems of management are put in place to support the achievement of these objectives on the other.
