| Abstract |
Survey of the health and safety problems in the metal-products industry in the Netherlands, as well as of issues in workers' welfare. Common health and safety concerns were observed in connection with various production techniques, such as: casting in foundries, surface treatment, welding and brazing. Specific health risks include: hazardous noise levels, heavy physical workloads and working overtime. Attention is also given to the role of various organisations in this sector (such as employers' organisations, trade unions and the Labour Inspectorate) that might influence working conditions. |
