Abstract

This project analysed the development of social dialogues about occupational health and safety (OHS) between 1960 and 2015. Historical and contemporary sources (documentary, testimonial, and empirical) were used to explain changes and to understand how far different social, political, and legal factors have influenced changes in public perceptions of OHS.
