Abstract

Worker participation in health and safety plays a key role in current EU and national strategies aimed at improving health and safety management. Yet there is much that we do not understand about its contribution to health and safety performance or the conditions enhancing its effectiveness. This book was undertaken to help further this understanding. It reviews the quantitative and qualitative evidence for the link between representative worker participation and effective health and safety management. Through a series of case studies in two sectors of the economy — chemicals and construction — it examines the dynamics of the detailed operation of representative worker participation in improving health and safety outcomes.
