下一章审查了关于职业不健康原因的不同观点，特别侧重于工业事故和伤害率。作者探讨了塑造职业安全管理和监管的风险话语的性质。官方的声音表面上是中立的，实际上却倾向于在分析受伤率时给予各种形式的方法论个人主义不成比例的权重。因此，个体工人的心理或行为往往成为关注的焦点，而事故的社会和经济决定因素却被淡化或忽视。显然有必要纠正这种不平衡。西奥·尼科尔斯在强调与商业周期、行业特点、社会关系和政治战略等因素有关的社会因果关系过程的重要性时，表明了社会科学可以对职业健康研究作出贡献的重要性。
The following chapter examines different perspectives on the causes of occupational ill health, focusing in particular on industrial accidents and injury rates. The author explores the nature of risk discourses which have shaped occupational safety management and regulation. Apparently neutral, official voices have in fact tended to give disproportionate weighting to various forms of methodological individualism in the analysis of injury rates. Hence the psychology or behaviour of individual workers has often been the focus of attention, while the social and economic determinants of accidents have been played down or ignored. There is clearly a need to redress this imbalance. In highlighting the importance of social processes of causation linked to factors such as the business cycle, industry characteristics, social relationships and political strategies, Theo Nichols demonstrates the importance of the contribution that the social sciences can make to occupational health research.
