When health and safety regulatory frameworks took their present
form in the 1970s, they were seen as a triumph of welfare state
intervention. Since then, as heavy industry has declined and
office and retail employment have expanded, new ways of working
have radically altered the context of health and safety policy.
Many people have come to see health and safety interventions as
an obstacle to innovation.
