Occupational Health and Safety : A Multi-Regional Perspective, Hardback Book

Occupational Health and Safety : A Multi-Regional Perspective Hardback

Edited by Manikam Pillay, Michael Tuck

Hardback

Description

Occupational health and safety (OHS) is an important focus of governments and organizations throughout the world because there are over 2.78 million fatal and 374 million nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses experienced by employees every year.

Addressing these requires paying attention to the physical organizational, cultural, and social contexts amidst which work is undertaken.

A multidisciplinary approach is also necessary in finding effective solutions.

Interestingly, countries and regions address different aspects of OHS depending on what OHS hazards and risks are important to them.

This book, based on research from Australia, Belgium, Ghana, Malaysia, Turkey, and Slovakia, examines how a range of OHS hazards are addressed in these contexts.

We believe that this is an important first step in addressing an age-old OHS problem through a multiregional collaboration.
