The author looks at work environment matters from the perspective of public policy-making and the policy instruments used to deal with workplace health and safety: standard setting; joint health and safety committees; compliance, enforcement, and prosecution; workers' compensation as an economic incentive; and collective bargaining. While regarding all as necessary, the author considers them as separately and collectively, fundamentally flawed and therefore insufficient, because liberal public policy-making itself is problematic. He proposes an alternative way of thinking about this subject from the perspective of the "politics of meaning."
标准制定；联合健康与安全委员会；合规、执法与起诉；作为经济激励措施的工人赔偿；以及集体谈判。虽然作者认为所有这些都是必要的，但他认为这些措施无论是单独来看还是综合起来，都存在根本性缺陷，因此是不够的，因为自由的公共政策制定本身就存在问题。他从“意义政治”的角度提出了一种思考这个问题的替代方式。
