Health of Working People

Organizational
practices have changed dramatically in recent years. To compete
more effectively, many companies have restructured themselves and
downsized their workforces, increased their reliance on nontraditional
employment practices that depend on temporary workers and contractor-supplied
labor, and adopted more flexible and lean production technologies.
These revolutionary changes in the organization of work have far outpaced
our understanding of their implications for work life quality and
safety and health on the job.
The present report was developed under the National Occupational Research Agenda
as the first attempt in
the United States to develop a comprehensive research agenda to investigate
and reduce occupational safety and health risks associated with the
changing organization of work. |
