Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home- based work has increased in recent decades and intensified as a result of policies created to control the spread of COVID-19 creating a labour market in rapid transition. Yet little attention has been paid to the issues associated with occupational health and safety or to how employers will monitor and maintain employee health and safety in a home- based work environment. Using historical case studies from Victorian Britain this book reflects on the past to examine resurfacing health and safety concerns that shaped and continue to shape the home- based working experience. Anchored by family research case studies this book presents documents and newspaper accounts about the diverse experiences of three real people who lived and worked from their homes in the Victorian era. Supported by academic and popular literature on work and policy about the era the book discusses changing worldviews and social context that shaped occupational health and safety at the time and critiques the outcomes of policies that were challenged to address these risks. The case study experiences are used as a touchstone between the past and present to draw parallels between important health and safety concerns that may be resurfacing in our modern post-COVID transition to home-based work. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers academics and postgraduate students of occupational health and safety occupational science labour history and human resource management as well as Victorian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners working across the fields of workplace and occupational health and safety. | Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Despite growing evidence of violence against health care workers some employers have been slow to acknowledge the risks faced in both primary and secondary health care settings. Personal Safety for Health Care Workers provides the tools to investigate the risks involved and to develop policy and practice to ensure staff safety. It also deals with the vexed question of under-reporting. Part I deals with the respective roles and responsibilities of employers and employees and offers guidance on developing a workplace personal safety policy.

Part 2 gives detailed guidelines for use by individual workers in a variety of work situations. Part 3 considers training issues and contains a number of sample training programmes with handouts.

Ageing Well Nutrition Health and Social Interventions

Many current public health actions and policies aimed at older people revolve around the often prevailing view that failing health is a consequence of ageing. It is now clear that it is possible to postpone or even prevent much of the age-related decline in health that was once thought inevitable. Future policies must recognise this changing paradigm and using a multi-disciplinary approach integrate fully the changing needs of older people into all areas of public policy including health nutrition social support housing and economic security. Derived from the 47th Annual Symposium of the Society for the Study of Human Biology in November 2005 Ageing Well: Nutrition Health and Social Interventions highlights important health and social factors affecting quality of life in older age and reviews possible interventions aimed at the prevention or amelioration of problems that reduce the potential for ageing well. Covering a wide range of topics contributors address the nutritional vulnerability and specific nutritional needs of older adults and confirm the necessity of appropriate diet and exercise in order to maintain both physical and cognitive health. Reminiscence social interaction and support are highlighted as crucial for the preservation of identity health and emotional well-being. Other chapters are concerned with socio-economic differences in the extent of age-related changes in health resulting particularly from poor quality housing and lack of family support networks. The book includes an examination of the economic consequences for health care systems and pension schemes of ageing populations provides insight into the methodology of evaluating the cost-effectiveness of interventions and outlines how the minimum cost of healthy living for the 65 plus population can be estimated.
