abstract |
This paper documents the vulnerability of the UK workplace safety regime to ‘regulatory
degradation’. Following a brief overview of this regime, the paper examines the dominant
arguments within academic literature on appropriate and feasible regulatory enforcement,
arguing that the approaches to regulation thereby advocated have been easily degraded
as a result of their compatibility with neo-liberal economic strategy. A subsequent
analysis of empirical trends within safety enforcement reveals a virtual collapse
of formal enforcement, as political and resource pressures have taken their toll on
the regulatory authority. Finally, the paper indicates that the increasing impunity
with which employers can kill and injure is particularly problematic as we enter sustained
economic recession, and underlines the urgent need for regulatory alternatives. |
