Description
Contributions to the History of Occupational and Environmental Prevention not only contains most of the presentations from the
First International Conference but also includes invited papers of high scientific relevance to enrich and complete the content of this
book.
Both this publication and the conference are major outcomes of a joint collaboration between Clinica del Lavoro of the Milan
University and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Prevention (ISPESL) of Rome that implemented the International Network
for the History of Occupational and Environmental Prevention (INHOEP), including the most active monodisciplinary segment of occupational
health: that is the Scientific Committee of the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH).
This book is subdivided into
seven chapters giving a rich insight into the history of occupational and environmental prevention: 1. Occupational and environmental
health prevention; 2. Historical perspective of policy, ethics and regulation in occupational and environmental prevention; 3. Designing
environment for health; 4. Historical perspectives of occupational and environmental hazard prevention; 5. Impact of human diversity
on prevention; 6. Institutions and movements for prevention: origin and development; 7. Historical sources and archives.
There is
ongoing work for the 2nd International Conference to be held in Norrkoping in September 2001.
