In 1992 a preventable explosion at the Westray Mine in Plymouth,
Nova Scotia, killed twenty-six miners. More than a decade later,
the government enacted Bill C-45, commonly known as the Westray
bill, to hold organizations criminally liable for seriously
injuring and killing workers and the public. In Still Dying for a
Living, Steven Bittle turns a critical eye on the Westray bill,
revealing how legal, economic, and cultural discourses surrounding
the bill downplayed the seriousness of workplace injury and death,
effectively characterizing these crimes as regrettable but largely
unavoidable accidents and, in the process, obscuring their
underlying causes.
