Occupational health and safety legislation in Ontario

Cette étude reconnait les moyens par lesquels le conflit des classes et les contradictions structurelles dans le traitement de la main d'oeuvre ont influencé la récente législation sur la sécurité et la santé au travail en Ontario. Certains disent que le déclenchement de la procédure législative qui a abouti au projet de loi 70, répondait essentiellement au coût grimpant des blessures et maladies industrielles que devaient payer les employeurs et l'Etat. Le contenu de la législation semble avoir été formulé par les pressions des organizations ouvrières. This paper identifies ways in which class conflict and structural contradictions in the labour process have influenced recent occupational health and safety legislation in Ontario. It is argued that the initiation of the legislative process leading up to Bill 70 can be understood primarily as a response to the increasing costs of industrial illness and injury borne by employers and the state. The content of the legislation appears to have been shaped by pressures from organized labour
