This volume analyses the most important problems and challenges that health, age and the environment introduce in the labour market, and how these factors affect both the way people work and their rights. The contributions here focus on the main challenges for social security systems, lawmakers and trade unions, and provide important solutions to improve workers’ rights and guarantee the viability of public social security systems. Other topics analysed here include dress-codes and whistleblowing in companies. From the labour point of view, workers’ representatives and trade unions must take action in collective bargaining to deal with these topics and adequately protect the workforce. The authors here are drawn from countries such as Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Poland, Brazil and Colombia, providing a global perspective. The book will appeal to lawyers, legal and human resources experts, economists, judges, academics and staff from trade unions and employers’ representation. The volume features insights and contributions in different languages, with chapters in Spanish (13), English (7) and Portuguese (2).

La seguridad y salud en el trabajo, llamada salud ocupacional antes de la Ley 1562 de 2012, nació de la observación y de su aplicación comenzó la prevención de los fenómenos o acontecimientos no explicados y que causaban lesiones o muertes. Posteriormente, con el advenimiento y desarrollo de procesos más complejos, se ha avanzado de tal manera que hoy en día la tecnología juega un papel valioso de apoyo para el reconocimiento, evaluación y control de los factores de riesgo y riesgos asociados. Desde hace algún tiempo, en Colombia, se ha dado gran impulso a la legislación laboral, con el fin de crear ambientes de trabajo con unas condiciones mínimas y aceptables de seguridad e higiene industrial. En la actualidad se habla del Sistema de Gestión de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo, SG-SST, cuya política principal es el desarrollo de un sistema lógico y por etapas, basado en la mejora continua.

Occupational Safety and Health Simplified for the Industrial Workplace serves industrial businesses, workplaces, and managers who want quick answers to complicated questions. It is an essential reference for everyone involved with the safety and health of workers in the industrial workplace. It makes the difficult task of complying with the 29 CFR 1910 regulations easier to manage. From general safety provisions to violence in the workplace to hazardous wastes, it examines the standards of 29 CFR 1910 one-by-one with non-technical, implementation-friendly explanations of the requirements and how to implement and fulfill them. This book provides a breakdown of the training standards for industrial applications. In addition, it shows how to prevent the leading causes of fatal accidents, which OSHA industrial standards are violated most often, and how non-Spanish–speaking managers can effectively communicate safety requirements with Spanish-speaking employees. Most importantly, this book provides answers to a broad range of compliance questions, including who is obligated to observe the law, what OSHA compliance obligations are, and how state OSHA compares to federal OSHA standards.
