Sudden illnesses, accidents, fire catastrophes, explosions, gas leakages and war damage constitute serious threats to industry and other production enterprises all over the world.To counteract the hazards resulting from such emergencies the Federation of Norwegian Industries in 1948 decided to establish an industrial civil defense organization. The Federation also decided that the industry itself should cover the cost both for operation of a central staff and for organizing and running an industrial civil defense at each individual plant or facility.In 1953, the organization was legalized through the Norwegian Civil Defense Act and a Royal Decree of 1965 decided that the Industrial Civil Defense central staff should organize and supervise self protection in all enterprises employing 40 or more persons engaged in industrial activity, manufacturing and skilled trades, etc. This applies irrespective of where the facility is situated or where the operation takes place.

The Navy's Department of the Naval Sea Systems Command has launched an ambitious program to modernize the training of its shipyard civilian workers. The Instructional Systems Development (ISD) approach has been adopted to design, develop and evaluate effective and cost-efficient training of shipyard skilled-trades. Using the expertise of instructional technologists, trade experts, technical writers and psychometricians, the program is expected to eliminate deficiencies of current shipyard training and reduce its costs.

The Relationship

With reference to data derived from a sample of young unemployed girls, the paper examines a number of themes related to the education and (un)employment of early school leavers. Of particular interest is the relationship between ‘women's work’ as traditionally defined and technological change. As traditional feminine forms of employment become more scarce, through for example technological innovation and the general economic recession, an attempt is made to consider the adequacy of existing career education and vocational guidance. Related to this, there is a consideration of the extent to which females have entered non-traditional forms of work, such as the skilled trades, and some of the problems encountered are discussed. In conclusion some policy considerations are suggested.

Gender Inequity

Although Miner et al. (2018) effectively argue that there is a need for greater efforts on the part of I-O psychologists to confront gender inequity in the STEM fields, we feel that the preoccupation with STEM may blind us to other domains where similar issues not only exist but may be even more prevalent and problematic. Specifically, we would argue that more attention needs to be paid to skilled trades, transportation-related jobs, and other so-called “dirty work.”
