Occupational Health and Safety in Australia : Industry, Public Sector and Small Business

In Australia, nearly 3000 people die from work-related causes every year.

This book sets workplace health and safety problems in a broad organizational, policy and research context.

The authors argue that OHS needs to be seen as part of "core business" for enterprises of all sizes rather than the responsibility of individual workers of the compensation system.

They show how the priorities of different interest groups can conflict and explore difficulties faced in implementing OHS policies in the workplace.
