Book Review:
Joseph A. Page, Workers’ Health and Safety: Whose Costs, Whose Benefits? (reviewing Nicholas A. Ashford’s Crisis in the Workplace: Occupational Disease and Injury (1976)), 55 TEXAS L. REV. 359 (1976).
 

Abstract:
Professor Page praises Crisis in the Workplace as offering a fresh analysis of the core issues that give rise to the current disagreements over occupational health and safety. Although Mr. Ashford’s work provides no solutions, it performs a service of inestimable value by pointing out the extent of the problem in terms of economic goals and methods. The shortcomings of the book stem in large part from the high standards against which an opus of this magnitude deserves to be measured. Its merits should attract close scrutiny on the part of individuals and groups in the private and public sectors concerned with reducing the toll of work-related accidents and diseases.
