Safety at Work and the Unions (1983) surveys the whole field of safety at work. It looks at the diverse body of literature on the subject, examines the organisational structures by which labour and management are attempting to cope with the problem, and compares the British with overseas experience. It reports original research on how joint safety committees actually work, and looks at several case studies in depth.
