The Subjectivities and Politics of Occupational Risk

The book explores the impact of industry restructuring on perceptions of occupational risk and the resulting political dynamics. It examines how shifts in risk subjectivities influence workplace safety, management practices, and regulatory frameworks, often resulting in conflicts that drive changes in laws and political discourse. Through case studies from three industries, it highlights the interplay between individual experiences of risk and broader institutional responses, emphasizing the evolving nature of safety management in contemporary work environments.
