Changes in industrial practice in
response to occupational health risks are influenced by a variety of internal
and external factors. This course addresses the question of how such changes are
effectively implemented. In addition to discussing regulatory and statutory
precedents and framework, we will examine other methods leading to the
recognition and subsequent reduction of health risks including dissemination of
scientific research, media reporting, product safety initiatives and personal
activism. Case studies concerning asbestos, ergonomics, combustible dust, and
manganese will be examined.
