Book excerpt: By way of introduction to this fascinating book, let me highlight two of its many contributions. First, it is a good example of something all too rare in sociology: testing competing general theories. Most of us either try to develop or refine theories about how the social world works, and cite convenient data as support, or we select and collect data that will fit some general theoretical position. In the first case, the data playa subor dinate role-bits of evidence for our view of life. In the second, the theory plays a subordinate role-a way to make sense of the social behavior we have observed. McCaffrey's position subsumes these two. He has gathered data on an important social agency, but with an im plicit problem in mind: which of the several theories about the social world he was exposed to in graduate school would do the best job of interpreting the data? Or, we might just as well turn it around. In a graduate department such as Sociology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, there is a lively, never ending debate about the "truth" of competing perspectives on the political and social world. By selecting a data base and remaining alert to the kind of evidence each theory required, McCaffrey circumvented the usual" data for a theory" vs. "a theory for the data" dilemma that most of us live with.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Safety and Health by : Graham K. Wilson
Download or read book The Politics of Safety and Health written by Graham K. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In thousands of factories around the U.S., Britain, and every other industrial nation, workers suffer from occupationally-caused illness and accidents that could easily have been prevented. This book is about the politics behind industrial health and safety decision-making in the U.S. and Britain, where human health and safety considerations often take a back seat to overall social and economic goals. Wilson contends that it is political actors-Presidents and Parliament, Congress and the Court-who set the general framework for the decisions made within health and safety bureaucracies, and that American governmental and interest groups are less equipped for the peaceful resolution of disputes over economic and industrial issues than Britain's highly corporatist form of policy-making.

Book Synopsis Regulating America, Regulating Sweden by : Steven Kelman
Download or read book Regulating America, Regulating Sweden written by Steven Kelman and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1981 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This remarkable book...opens up new perspectives for the study of bureaucracy and the political institutions in which governmental bureaucracies are embedded.... This is one of those rare books that actually comparesgovernments...rather than simply offering descriptive accounts of two or more regimes.... Not only are the differences [Kelman] observes between the United States and Sweden striking, they are also in a way counterintuitive." —James Q. Wilson The book undertakes a comparative examination of two government agencies—the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States and the Arbetarskyddsverketor Worker Protection Board (ASV) in Sweden—that have the same mission: the prevention and control of work-related accidents and diseases. By exploring the differences between the two agencies by reference to the societies in which they operate, the study also compares American and Swedish societies themselves. This comparison illuminates the development of "adversary institutions" in American society. Kelman contrasts the political environments of the two countries, noting that American unions are weaker than those of any other democratic industrial nation, while Sweden's are the strongest; that the United States alone among democratic industrial nations has no mass-based socialist or communist party, while in Sweden the socialists held power continuously from 1932 to 1976. And these differences are reflected in the attitudes of national leaders toward occupational safety and health. Thus, President Ford criticized OHSA as a dramatic example of "over-regulation," while Prime Minister Palme saw the fact that workers still risked life and health on the job as a dramatic example of "the failures of capitalism." Nevertheless, some of the author's key empirical findings could not have been predicted on the basis of these broad differences in political outlook. For example, Kelman finds that rulemaking decisions of the two agencies were quite similar and tended toward more rather than less protective alternatives; that OSHA was far more punitive with regard to compliance than ASV and far more concerned with controlling field inspectors; and that lawyers and the courts were "highly involved in both rulemaking and compliance in the United States and virtually uninvolved in Sweden." The book seeks to explain these findings.

Book Synopsis Occupational Safety and Health Law Handbook by : John D. Surma
Download or read book Occupational Safety and Health Law Handbook written by John D. Surma and published by Bernan Press. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its fourth edition, the popular Occupational Safety and Health Law Handbook has been your go-to guide to the fundamentals of occupational safety and health law for over a decade. It provides an authoritative and completely up-to-date reference that you count on for its reliable information and straightforward explanation. Each chapter is written by a highly respected attorney who is an expert in the field. Yet the book is written without legal jargon, in plain English that anyone can understand. In it, the authors provide interpretations of many facets of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, review regulations and standards governing employee protection, and offer advice for dealing with regulatory authorities. The Handbook covers all of the important legal aspects of the Occupational Safety and Health Act with clearly written explanations of such issues as the boundaries of OSHA regulations, general administrative law concepts, and OSHA's enforcement tactics. As in the previous edition, this edition begins with an overview of the OSH Act in Chapter 1 and then addresses who is covered under the OSH Act, the development of safety and health laws, and the employer’s duty to comply with occupational safety and health laws in Chapters 2 through 4. Chapter 5 provides a detailed discussion of the recording and reporting rules for work-related injuries and illness as well other recordkeeping requirements under specific safety and health standards. Chapters 6 and 7 focus on the rights of employers and employees, including employees’ right against unlawful discrimination related to protected safety activity. In Chapter 8, the authors provide a detailed discussion of the new hazard communication provisions that conform with the Globally Harmonized System. Chapter 9 covers the use of voluntary safety and health self-audits that employers may use to identify and correct safety and health hazards. Chapters 10 and 11 discuss OSHA’s primary enforcement tools — inspections and investigations and citations issued following an inspection or investigation. These chapters also contain insight on steps employers may need to take during an inspection or investigation. Chapter 12 explains the procedures for challenging a citation before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and federal court of appeals. Chapter 13 covers criminal enforcement of OSHA standards. The last chapter covers imminent domain inspections. The Occupational Safety and Health Law Handbook serves as a useful guide for practitioners in the occupational safety and health field who are responsible for addressing safety and health concerns in the workplace.

Book Synopsis Worker Safety Under Siege by : Vernon Mogensen
Download or read book Worker Safety Under Siege written by Vernon Mogensen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eye-opening book shows how the rights of workers to safe and healthful workplaces are under greater attack today than at any time since the passage of the landmark Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1970. This collection is organized around three thematic issues that pose significant challenges to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's ability to protect workers' safety and health. First, the economy has shifted from an industrial base to a white collar/service base, which includes more women workers than ever before - yet many of the safety and health problems that affect women are not being adequately addressed. Second, free market ideology and globalization have served to undermine worker safety and health laws. And finally, the effects of 9/11 have exacerbated the trend toward weakening workers' rights and safety standards in the name of national security.
Book Synopsis The Craft of Bureaucratic Neutrality by : Gregory A. Huber
Download or read book The Craft of Bureaucratic Neutrality written by Gregory A. Huber and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are political understandings of bureaucracy incompatible with Weberian features of administrative neutrality? In examining the question of whether interest groups and elected officials are able to influence how government agencies implement the law, this book identifies the political origins of bureaucratic neutrality. In bridging the traditional gap between questions of internal management (public administration) and external politics (political science), Huber argues that 'strategic neutrality' allows bureaucratic leaders to both manage their subordinates and sustain political support. By analyzing the OSH Act of 1970, Huber demonstrates the political origins and benefits of administrative neutrality, and contrasts it with apolitical and unconstrained administrative implementation. Historical analysis, interviews with field-level bureaucrats and their supervisors, and quantitative analysis provide a rich understanding of the twin difficulties agency leaders face as political actors and personnel managers.
