This book provides one of the first systematic accounts of how
corporations manage risk to workers and consumers. Careful analysis
and interviewing in different corporations elicit a portrait of the
myriad hazards that currently confront industry, the corporate
programs and resources that have emerged since 1970 to respond to
this challenge, and factors that have contributed to successes and
failures. In-depth studies of the Volvo Car Corporation, Rocky
Flats nuclear weapons plant, Union Carbide's Bhopal facility, and
large chemical and pharmaceutical corporations provide a
state-of-the-art assessment of the advances and problems inherent
today in industrial safety management. Roger E. Kasperson, Jeanne
X. Kasperson, and Christoph Hohenemser are senior researchers at
Clark University's Center for Technology, Environment, and
Development (CENTED). Roger E. Kasperson is Director of CENTED and
its Hazard Assessment Group. Jeanne X. Kasperson is Research
Librarian at CENTED and Senior Research Associate in Brown
University's World Hunger Program. Hohenemser, a professor of
physics, directs the Environment, Technology, and Society Program
at Clark University. Robert W. Kates, formerly with CENTED, is
Director of the Alan Shawn Feinstein World Hunger Program at Brown
University. Ola Svenson, of the Department of Psychology at Lund
University in Sweden, is a leading researcher in the field of risk
perception and decision analysis.
