Health and Safety in a Changing World (2017, Routledge) is the result of a major five-year research programme funded by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
The professional body commissioned studies by teams from the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM), Loughborough University, Cranfield University and the universities of Nottingham, Reading and Portsmouth, under the direction of Professor Robert Dingwall.
The programme of research, one of the most ambitious ever undertaken into the ways we protect people from ill health and injury in the workplace, delivered a wide-ranging set of findings, published in October.
IOSH executive director of policy Shelley Frost, who edited the book with Prof Dingwall, said: "OSH is steeped in a colourful history, shaped by public perception and hugely dynamic. This book explores those facets and provides a perspective on how the OSH professional can respond to the changing needs and expectations of the world of work.
"There are real opportunities explored on how those driving forward OSH agendas can position themselves to influence and shape the future."
