Silicosis, Knowledge and Power: Transnational Responses to an Occupational Disease, 1902 to 2005.

矽肺病是一种全球性疾病，影响了澳大利亚工人的健康和澳大利亚公司的盈利能力。最近，主要的国际矿业公司已开始承认其更广泛的责任，并发表关于可持续采矿的声明。然而，发展中国家的不良做法继续将生产成本转移到劳动力身上，从而削弱了提供更安全工作环境的生产者。该项目有望加深对风险评估和工伤补偿过程的理解。这样做，它将有助于支持矿工争取正义斗争的社会运动的工作。

Silicosis is a global disease which has affected the health of Australian workers and the profitability of Australian companies. Recently, major international mining houses have begun to acknowledge their wider responsibilities, and publish statements on Sustainable Mining. However, poor practices in developing countries continue to shift the costs of production onto labour, thereby under-cutting producers who provide safer working environments. This project promises greater understanding of risk assessment and the processes of compensating workplace injuries. In doing so, it will contribute to the work of social movements supporting miners in their struggles for justice.
