Funded Activity Summary

Silicosis on South African Gold Mines: The History and Politics of an Occupational Disease, 1950 to 2005. This study of occupational disease has relevance to the mining industry which routinely publishes statements on Sustainable Mining as part of their corporate governance.Triple Bottom Line reporting includes reference to the industry's social, economic and environmental impacts. The hazardous work practices in developing countries shift the costs of production back onto labour thereby under-cutting those producers who provide safer work environments. Those realities, which impact directly upon Australian industry, publics and governments, are explored in detail in this project.
