How everyday products make people sick : toxins at home and in the workplace / by Blanc, Paul D.,1951-;

Includes bibliographical references (p. 271-346) and index.This book reveals the hidden health dangers in many of the seemingly innocent products we encounter every day--a tube of glue in a kitchen drawer, a bottle of bleach in the laundry room, a rayon scarf on a closet shelf, a brass knob on the front door, a wood plank on an outdoor deck. A compelling exposé, written by a physician with extensive experience in public health and illustrated with disturbing case histories, this is a meticulously documented account of injury and illness across different time periods, places, and technologies. It presents a picture of how ordinary manufacturing processes and consumer marketing expose workers and the general public alike to toxic hazards. Among the surprisingly common hazards discussed: glue and rubber cement; chlorine bleach; rayon and other synthetic textiles; welding and other metal fumes; wood preservatives; gasoline additives.--From publisher description.The forgotten histories of "modern" hazards -- The shadow of smoke : how to evade regulation -- Good glue, better glue, superglue -- Under a green sea : the rising tide of chlorine -- Going crazy at work : cycles of carbon disulfide poisoning -- Job fever : inhaling dust and fumes -- Emerging toxins.

Brave new workplace : designing productive, healthy, and safe organizations / by Barling, Julian,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages [209]-252) and index.Brave new workplace -- Leadership -- Autonomy -- Belonging -- Fairness -- Growth -- Meaning -- Safety -- Toward productive, healthy, and safe workplaces."After a period of tremendous upheaval, it is necessary for organizations to transform alongside their employees and welcome new ways of working. While it is impossible to predict which changes will be successful, it is crucial for leaders to now ask: what should work look like to achieve productive, healthy, and safe organizations? In Brave New Workplace, Julian Barling argues that we should focus on creating environments in which employees can flourish, rather than relying on the resiliency of workers to withstand difficult working conditions. Synthesizing centuries of research from scholars such as Abraham Maslow, Fred Herzberg, and Richard Hackman, among others, Barling identifies seven elements that are key to building an exceptional workplace: high quality leadership, autonomy, belonging, fairness, growth, meaning, and safety. Throughout the book, chapters touch on pressing issues affecting today's organizations such as working through crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of gender differences on people's experiences in the workplace. Barling illustrates that small changes make a big difference in the long term--perhaps especially during the most trying times--and that effective, evidenced-based interventions are needed to achieve productive, healthy, and safe work." -- Publisher's description
