Industrial medicine and the culture of health and safety at work. 1993

A Goerg

Landesinstitut Sozialforschungsstelle, Dortmund, Federal Republic of Germany.

Prevention in modern day German OHS is not only an additional task. The change from check-up medicine to a holistic design for industrial health and safety has consequences for various levels of everyday routine. Two studies are introduced to describe aspects of the culture of health and safety at work. The study of the Landesinstitut Sozialforschungsstelle analyses the cooperation between Company doctors and Safety-at-Work Inspectors; and the GfAH case study shows some of the practical difficulties that arise when an attempt is made to implement prevention-oriented occupational medicine in any one company.
