Occupational health and safety of temporary and agency workers
通过民族志式定性研究，考察直接雇佣的临时工和通过中介雇佣的工人在职业健康与安全方面的不同体验，发现中介工面临更差的安全培训、劣质防护装备和模糊的监管角色。
Previous quantitative studies have established a link between precarious work and occupational health and safety (OHS). Using an ethnographically informed qualitative approach, this article investigates the workplace experiences of different types of precarious workers, in particular those who are directly-employed temporary workers and those who are engaged through an agency. Drawing on the work of Andrew Hopkins, the article finds cultural practices that lead to worsened OHS experiences for those who are engaged through an agency. These experiences include inadequate safety training, poor quality personal protective equipment and a lack of clarity of supervisory roles.
