The occupational health & safety (OHS) dimensions of the social justice issue in Australia are examined in the context of its apparently faltering past record, & contrasted with recent attempts to improve standards, with focus on the state of Victoria & legislative development there, eg the 1985 OHS Act & the establishment of a tripartite OHS commission. Considered are the underlying motivations & broad structural backdrop for the adoption of present enactments, as well as the current climate of labor movement interests & activism & political opportunism. Similarly, constraints to change & the full realization of the social justice goals of the 1985 OHS Act are analyzed with particular reference to the challenges & responses of existing political & economic arrangements & corporatist organizations. 23 References.
