Health and Safety of Workers Case Studies in the Politics of Professional Responsibility

This volume uses three case studies involving the dangers of lead, coal, and asbestos to explore the role of scientists in the discovery and regulation of occupational hazards. The cases draw upon detailed historical evidence, and illustrate the factors and conditions that make possible--or deter--the development of responsible, ethical behavior on the part of scientists and engineers.Bayer, Ronald is the author of 'Health and Safety of Workers Case Studies in the Politics of Professional Responsibility' with ISBN 9780195053654 and ISBN 0195053656.
