Apresenta o estado da arte em saúde do trabalhador ao debater questões como a incorporação tecnológica e a globalização dos mercados, assim como a persistência de formas arcaicas de produção, a precarização do trabalho e a exclusão social. O foco é a saúde integral do trabalhador: os autores procuram interpretar a origem das situações seja do ponto de vista tecnológico, econômico, social ou político. Eles estudam todo o processo de trabalho, que engloba, sobretudo, as relações sociais. Entre as principais contribuições da coletânea destacam-se a incorporação do setor de serviços ao debate em saúde do trabalhador e a reflexão sobre questões de saúde mental, abordando as subjetividades, o sofrimento e o estresse dos trabalhadores. A obra também traz análises sobre políticas públicas e vigilância em saúde do trabalhador. Ao fazer um diagnóstico da área, o livro identifica avanços e lacunas e, assim, sinaliza propostas de ação.

"The ILO estimates that around 2.3 million workers die annually as a result of occupational accidents and diseases. A further one million workers suffer workplace accidents every day. Alongside the human impact, these accidents cost an estimated 4 per cent of GDP in the US, equating to 2.8 trillion US dollars. This book considers occupational health and safety, and the ways in which it can be increased to both improve working conditions and reduce the material costs of accidents. Bringing together leading academics in the field, and presenting original research from both the private and public sectors, Increasing Occupational Health and Safety in Workplaces argues for greater reporting of workplace accidents and injuries. It also incorporates stress as a factor in rates of accidents and injuries, and suggests ways in which workplace safety cultures can be fostered and improved. This book will be an invaluable tool for students of management, especially those with an interest in small businesses. Its insights will also be of interest for organizational administrators responsible for workplace accidents and injuries at various levels, and for government employees with an interest in occupational health and safety"--
