DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite many advances, 20 American workers die each day as a result of occupational injuries. And occupational safety and health (OSH) is becoming even more complex as workers move away from the long-term, fixed-site, employer relationship. This book looks at worker safety in the changing workplace and the challenge of ensuring a supply of top-notch OSH professionals. Recommendations are addressed to federal and state agencies, OSH organizations, educational institutions, employers, unions, and other stakeholders. The committee reviews trends in workforce demographics, the nature of work in the information age, globalization of work, and the revolution in health care deliveryâ€"exploring the implications for OSH education and training in the decade ahead. The core professions of OSH (occupational safety, industrial hygiene, and occupational medicine and nursing) and key related roles (employee assistance professional, ergonomist, and occupational health psychologist) are profiled-how many people are in the field, where they work, and what they do. The book reviews in detail the education, training, and education grants available to OSH professionals from public and private sources.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo identify the core elements of effective ergonomics programs, a literature review was conducted and experts in the business labor and academic communities interviewed. Case studies were conducted at selected facilites of five employers, interviewing pertinent program officials and obtaining program and results data. Pertinent officials were also interviewed and information about current activities from OSHA and selected states that operate their own OSHA programs obtained. Effective ergonomic programs must have the following core set of elements to ensure that ergonomic hazards are identified and controlled to protect workers: management commitment, employee involvement, identification of problem jobs, development of solutions (that is, controls) for problem jobs, training and education for employees and appropriate medical management. The work revealed that positive results can be achieved through an approach incorporating these core elements that are implemented in a simple, informal, site-specific manner

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis eye-opening book shows how the rights of workers to safe and healthful workplaces are under greater attack today than at any time since the passage of the landmark Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1970. This collection is organized around three thematic issues that pose significant challenges to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's ability to protect workers' safety and health. First, the economy has shifted from an industrial base to a white collar/service base, which includes more women workers than ever before - yet many of the safety and health problems that affect.
