Description

Explore a detailed history of occupational health with Beyond the Factory Gates by Continuum. This book examines the complex relationship between asbestos and public health in the United States from the early 1900s through the mid-1970s. It provides a deep look into how medical concerns emerged regarding three fatal diseases: asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Readers will learn about the significant role played by the US Navy as a primary consumer of asbestos-based insulation products. The text also tracks the evolving response of the federal government, covering the period both before and after the 1970 Occupational Safety and Health Act. By analyzing the actions of organized labor and the asbestos industry, this work offers important insights into the history of industrial safety and regulation in America. This is an essential resource for those interested in business, economic history, and the evolution of labor laws.
