The Subjectivities and Politics of Occupational Risk links
restructuring in three industries to shifts in risk subjectivities
and politics, both within workplaces and within the safety
management and regulative spheres, often leading to conflict and
changes in law, political discourses and management approaches. The
state and corporate governance emphasis on worker participation and
worker rights, internal responsibility, and self-regulative
technologies are understood as corporate and state efforts to
reconstruct control and responsibility for Occupational Health and
Safety (OHS) risks within the context of a globalized neoliberal
economy. Part 1 presents a conceptual framework for understanding
the subjective bases of worker responses to health and safety
hazards using Bourdieu's concept of habitus and the sociology of
risk concepts of trust and uncertainty. Part 2 demonstrates the
restructuring arguments using three different industry case studies
of multiple mines, farms and auto parts plants. The final chapter
draws out the implications of the evidence and theory for social
change and presents several recommendations for a more
worker-centred politics of health and safety. The book will appeal
to social scientists interested in health and safety, work,
employment relations and labour law, as well as worker advocates
and activists.
