Description

Small and medium sized enterprises constitute the vast majority of businesses in most developed economies. Although a large number of people are employed in such organizations, research and practice in occupational health and safety has largely ignored the unique challenges of this sector. In this highly relevant book, international experts in the field summarize existing knowledge and identify the best practices for enhancing occupational health and safety in small and medium sized enterprises. The authors specifically identify solutions that are appropriate for small businesses. Covering a full range of topics from traditional safety to psychosocial health, this insightful book will appeal to multidisciplinary audience, including researchers and graduate students in occupational health psychology; academics in the area of small business; practicing occupational health psychologists; as well as small business owners.
