HEALTH AND SAFETY IN CONTEMPORARY BRITAIN - PAU...

This book analyses the perceived legitimacy of health and safety in post-1960 British public
life. Since 2010 health and safety has appeared to be in crisis  being attacked by press 
politicians and public alike  but are these claims of crisis accurate? How have understandings
of health and safety changed over the past 60 years? By exploring the history  culture  and
operation of health and safety in contemporary Britain  this book provides a new assessment of
an understudied  but surprisingly far-reaching  part of the British political and social
landscape. Combining archival research with focus group  social survey and oral history
testimony  the book examines the historical background to health and safety  how health and
safety has been enacted in public and in the workplace  the impact of changing economic 
occupational and social structures on the operation of health and safety  and the conflicts and
interests that have shaped the area.
