Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses concerns about accidents in industrial workplaces and argues that more should be done to prevent them. The author, Edson S. Lott, believed that employer liability insurance companies had done more to prevent accidents than state laws and that they should continue to do so. Lott discusses the differences between state insurance schemes and private companies, with a focus on the German industrial accident law, Washington and Ohio plans, and the Norwegian State insurance plan. He argues that private companies are more effective in preventing accidents because they have trained inspectors and are incentivized to minimize losses by taking preventive measures, while state-run schemes often suffer from political interference, bureaucratic inefficiency, and a lack of accountability. The book also highlights the importance of safety regulations, factory inspections, and cooperation between employers and employees to reduce workplace accidents. Lott concludes that private companies play a vital role in promoting workplace safety and that their continued involvement is essential to protecting workers from preventable injuries and deaths.
