Abstract

VOGEL, Laurent. The relevance of the Italian workers' model in the struggle for health at work today. Laboreal [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.2, pp.10-17. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.15667/laborealxii0216lv.

The ‘Italian workers' model' refers to a set of practices and analysis that has deeply modified the traditional approach of occupational health and safety from the beginning of the 1960s. While it was originated by workers' mobilizations in factories, the experience put into question the different specialized disciplines which intervene in health and safety at work. If the world of work has deeply changed, crucial elements of the Italian workers' model allow us to tackle today challenges in occupational health and safety. A critical balance helps also to identify some limitations or neglected dimensions.

Keywords : History of health and safety at work; workers” participation; trade unions; class struggle.
