这篇文章调查了工人控制水平高的企业是否比同行业的传统企业更安全。对木制品行业四种不同类型企业（生产者合作社、员工持股计划、工会和非工会）1285名工人的自我报告进行比较后得出的结果，令员工所有制的倡导者感到失望。在各种安全指标上，合作社和员工持股计划要么不比传统企业好，要么实际上安全绩效更差。讨论了这些结果的原因，特别是在这些员工所有的公司发现自己处于不稳定的经济条件的背景下。我们得出结论，弱势企业的员工所有权可能对工人士气和工人安全有害。
This article investigates whether enterprises with high levels of worker control are safer places to work in than matched conventional firms in the same industry. The results, based on comparisons of self-reports from 1285 workers in four different kinds of enterprises in the wood products industry (producer coops, ESOPs, union and non-union), are disappointing for advocates of employee ownership. The coops and the ESOPs either did no better than the conventional enterprises on various safety indicators or actually had worse safety performances. Reasons for these results are discussed, particularly in the context of the precarious economic conditions these employee-owned firms find themselves in. We conclude that employee ownership of vulnerable enterprises may be hazardous for worker morale and worker safety.
