Journal reveals corporate safety corruption
06/11/05
Big business is involved in a deadly campaign to maximise profits at the expense of workers' health, according to papers in the latest issue of the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health (IJOEH).
A special issue on the 'corporate corruption of science' details how safety standards have been derailed by industry domination of occupational health research, corporate lobbying, the use of 'astroturf organisations' funded by industry but masquerading as genuine grassroots groups, and by other sophisticated public relations strategies to evade controls on workplace hazards.
All papers can be viewed online at International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health (IJOEH), Special issue: Corporate corruption of science, Volume II, Number 4, October - December 2005.
IJOEH is the only academic journal that consistently challenges industry's efforts to ensure profits remain high and standards low.
