Synopsis

The Health of the Industrial Worker offers a practical look at reclaiming disabled workers through training, work options, and policy insight.

This nonfiction work surveys early ideas on how the state, employers, and communities can support disabled workers. It discusses training requirements, the role of medical and trade assessments, and the potential for light or home-based work to restore independence and productivity.

• Strategies for training and reintegration of disabled workers into industry


• The idea of workshops, market gardens, and home industries as viable options


• Considerations for policy, pensions, and support services in the industrial economy

Ideal for readers of industrial health, labor policy, and history of workplace welfare.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No book is known to us which deals at all adequately from the standpoint of hygiene with the profound changes in the lives of civilised people during the past century and a half consequent upon the rise and development of modern industry. Vast and varied erudition is needed to rise to the height of so great an argument, vaster and more varied than is at our command ;we do not suggest that the present volume fills the gap which exists. Nevertheless, each of us has had to deal with problems of industrial hygiene from his particular point of view and has used methods of investigation which his particular way of life or habit of mind rendered accessible. We hope, there-, fore, we may not be too presumptuous in thinking that our joint work may suggest to others lines of fruitful inquiry and perhaps be of value to the novice. We believe that at least we have made plain how great is the influence of employment upon general health ;how many are the opportunities presented in industry for studying conditions which lead up to divergencies from health, divergencies which when neglected pass into diseases ;how ready to hand are means for improving the workaday life of the productive classes ;and how important to the whole of preventive medicine are lessons learnt in the school of industrial hygiene. Valuable information has been published in recent years in Government publications and scientific papers which for the most part are not readily accessible to those for whom this book has been prepared ;the extent to which these sources of information have been freely laid under contribution is indicated in the text. We take this opportunity of expressing our thanks and gratitude to the Right Hon.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
