- This book analyses the perceived legitimacy of health and safety in post-1960 British public life. Through a sustained analysis of the history, culture, and operation of health and safety in contemporary Britain, this book provides a new assessment of an understudied, but surprisingly far-reaching, part of the British political and social landscape. Combining archival research with focus group, social survey and oral history testimony, the book examines a large body of material from a wide range of sources.
