Responsibility System

Studies in several national jurisdictions have highlighted the limitations of joint health and safety committees and worker representatives in affecting change in working conditions. Using Canadian data, this article focuses on the argument that many health and safety committees and worker representatives have been captured or substantially controlled through the State’s promotion of an internal responsibility system framed around a technocratic partnership. The historical development of this framing is first understood within a political economic framework which highlights several major influences, followed by a field theory analysis which explains how these control relations are established by management within workplace settings.

The purpose of CHAP is to assist small to medium workplaces and their Joint Health and Safety Committees to: 1. Better understand the hazards associated with the chemicals/products they are using; and 2. Prioritize the most ‘hazardous’ chemicals/products for additional assessment of the effectiveness of control measures which are currently in-place.

Safety Committees

The author looks at work environment matters from the perspective of public policy-making and the policy instruments used to deal with workplace health and safety: standard setting; joint health and safety committees; compliance, enforcement, and prosecution; workers' compensation as an economic incentive; and collective bargaining. While regarding all as necessary, the author considers them as separately and collectively, fundamentally flawed and therefore insufficient, because liberal public policy-making itself is problematic. He proposes an alternative way of thinking about this subject from the perspective of the “politics of meaning.”

The Impact

This paper sets out the history of the attempt to establish voluntary health and safety committees in Britain, their failure and the attempt to legislate for their development. The impact of this legislation is analysed and the paper concludes by presenting a framework, which it is argued, would be developed for analysing the impact of legislation in Britain and in other countries such as New Zealand.

Safety Committees

The organizational development literature has very largely ignored the role of trade unions, with the result that the traditional organizational change models are held to be unsuitable for analysing the establishment and maintenance of joint problem-solving structures. Accordingly in this article we draw on the mainstream industrial relations literature in order to develop a model which seeks to identify the relevant structural characteristics of plants that had voluntarily established joint health and safety commit tees. This model is tested by performing a multivariate analysis of data obtained from a survey of 970 establishments in the manufacturing sector in Britain.
