Description

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is not close to meeting its mandate to protect American workers, according to labour law specialists McGarity and Shapiro. Thousands of men and women are still victims of workplace accidents and occupational diseases. The goal of this book is to analyse why OSHA has failed and what can be done. The book, divided in two parts, evaluates the current status of the protection of workers and provides a history of OSHA regulation. The authors suggest four methods to reduce workplace health and safety risks: better management of OSHA; reduced oversight by the courts and the executive branch; a change in OSHA's legislative mandate; and empowering workers to protect themselves. This work aims to be of interest to scholars and professionals in occupational health, labour economics, labour law, and human resource management.
