Based on heart-wrenching interviews Karmel conducted with injured workers and surviving family members across the country, the stories in this book are introduced in a way that helps place them in a historical and political context and represent a wide survey of the American workplace, including, among others, warehouse workers, grocery store clerks, hotel housekeepers, and river dredgers. Karmel's examples are portraits of the lives and dreams cut short and reports of the workplace incidents that tragically changed the lives of everyone around them. Dying to Work includes incidents from industries and jobs that we do not commonly associate with injuries and fatalities and highlights the risks faced by workers who are hidden in plain view all around us. While exposing the failure of safety laws that leave millions of workers without compensation and employers without any meaningful incentive to protect their workers, Karmel offers the reader some hope in the form of policy suggestions that may make American workers safer and employers more accountable. This is a book for anyone interested in issues of worker health and safety, and it will also serve as the cornerstone for courses in public policy, community health, labor studies, business ethics, regulation and safety, and occupational and environmental health policy. 606 $aIndustrial hygiene$zUnited States 606 $aHazardous occupations$zUnited States 606 $aOccupational mortality$zUnited States 606 $aIndustrial safety$zUnited States 606 $aIndustrial accidents$zUnited States 615 0$aIndustrial hygiene 615 0$aHazardous occupations 615 0$aOccupational mortality 615 0$aIndustrial safety 615 0$aIndustrial accidents 676 $a363.110973 700 $aKarmel$b Jonathan D.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01553499 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796584803321 996 $aDying to Work$93814084 997 $aUNINA
