Adolescent worker occupational health and OHS among 304 young casual workers in company-owned and franchised outlets of a major fast-food chain. It was found that the comprehensive OHSMS effectively controlled risks. The interviewees had improved OHS of risk assessment and control principles and applications, and an excellent comprehension of the OHS regulatory framework. Because the OHSMS was enforced in a similar way on franchised outlets, young casual across all types of store outlets and in all three States where the study was conducted.

The effects of outsourcing on occupational health and safety: A comparative study of factory-based workers and outworkers in the Australian clothing industry
-
This research project involved comparison of OHS indices between 100 factory-based employees and 100 outworkers who manufactured clothes from home. The major finding was that piecework payments were closely OHS indices. Outworkers had approximately three times the injuries of factory-based workers, and their injuries were more severe.

The impact of the legislative requirement for the completion of workplace health and safety plans on small-scale Queensland builders
-
This research project was designed to assess the relative impact of three 331 self-employed and micro small business owners/managers: An intensive The major findings were that stand-alone mailed OHS campaigns do not work; on-site visits by inspectors only had short-term impact; and the legal change requiring completion of ″checklist″ risk assessment sheets OHS outcomes. However, the best results were found in an area where the local inspectorate worked closely with builders and the industry association on a strategy of information provision over a long period of collaborative ″roadshows″ on OHS.

Canberra: National Occupational Health and Safety Commission and Division of Workplace Health and Safety (Qld), AGPS, 1997. Mayhew, C. Small business OHS information provision. This study was conducted among 248 micro small businesses in Queensland. The study focused on comprehension of three major OHS areas: manual handling, OHS legislation and hazardous substances. It was found that there was a very poor level of OHS legislative understanding, very little OHS preventive activity, and externalisation of injury costs onto taxpayer-funded treatments and supports. It was found that industry subgroup-specific associations had a OHS outcomes.

The effects of subcontracting/outsourcing on occupational health and safety: Survey evidence from four Australian industries
-
Approximately half those interviewed in this project were direct employees; the others were outsourced. It was found that industry/job task risk was the prime determinant of injury. Outsourcing had an negative impact on OHS outcomes. When levels of outsourcing increased substantially, conditions for all workers deteriorated.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander occupational health and safety: A pilot study
-
This study found that understanding of OHS among indigenous Australians was very limited, work-related illnesses were usually interpreted as personal health issues, stress was a major problem for those employed at between white and indigenous societies (for example, police liaison officers), and OHS prevention was almost unknown. The labour force position of the indigenous workers predicted injury patterns and, as most were high.

Self-employed builders: Factors which influence the probability of work-related injury and illness
-
This study involved interviewing 500 self-employed builders in Queensland; subsequently, 100 in the UK were also interviewed. It was found that the self-employed had a very high burden of chronic injury, very limited knowledge of OHS legislation, and most continued to work ″carrying″ an injury. There were some differences in injury patterns between the countries; these were minimal when type of construction was in OHS legislative understanding were explained by the longer time-span since implementation in the UK, and the greater range of sources providing information. While regulations were sometimes knowingly was usually through ignorance in Queensland. Compliance was, however, high in isolated ″one company″ mining towns in Queensland where company OHS policy requirements had become part of ″normal″ business practice throughout the community.

Eight superficial risk factors were identified (male, young, night-time, alcohol, ″hail″ from street, inner/near city pick-up, customers from lower socio-economic groups, and chasing fare evaders). identified: economic pressure to accept high-risk work; vehicle designs without protective devices; widespread acquiescence to aggressive behaviour; and inadequate police resources and judicial responses.

James (Mayhew), C. Self-employed and employee transport workers: labour process determinants of occupational injury. Labour and Industry This study was conducted among self-employed builders and transport in rural and urban areas of Queensland. In all, 66 builders (50 in Brisbane, 16 in Dalby) and 70 transport owners/operators (49 in Brisbane, 21 in Dalby) were interviewed. In the Dalby rural area, injury records workers compensation claims patterns, hospital treatments, ambulance first aid treatments, medico treatments, chiropractor visits, and interviews with the self-employed. There were major discrepancies between under-recognition and under-reporting of chronic injuries.
