"Depuis 2008, en France, le réseau de l'Agence nationale pour l'amélioration des conditions de travail (Anact) a développé un modèle d'analyse des inégalités de santé et de carrière entre les femmes et les hommes. Ce modèle a inspiré l'adoption, en août 2014, d'une loi dite de l'égalité réelle entre les femmes et les hommes. Les entreprises de plus de 50 salariés doivent désormais fournir des indicateurs en santé et sécurité au travail selon le sexe et prendre en compte lors de l'évaluation des risques l'impact différencié aux expositions en fonction du sexe."

"Since 2008 the network of the French National Agency for Improved Working Conditions (Anact) has been developing a model for analysing health and career inequalities between men and women. This model inspired the adoption in August 2014 of the “Act on real equality between men and women”. Companies with over 50 employees must now produce gender-based occupational health and safety indicators and take into account the gender-differentiated impact of exposure to risks during risk assessments."

"Lives in Peril demonstrates how and why seafarers are a vulnerable group of workers. It argues they are made so by the organisation and structure of their employment; the prioritisation of profit over safety by the actors that engage and control their labour; the limits of enforcement of the regulatory framework that is in place to protect them; and by their weakness as collective actors in relation to capital. The consequences of this vulnerability are seen in data on their occupationally-related morbidity and mortality - evidence that probably only represents a partial picture of the actual extent of the physical, mental and emotional harm resulting from work at sea. This volume's central argument is that this situation is likely to remain broadly unchanged as long as global maritime governance and regulation remains in thrall to the neo-liberal economic and political arguments that drive globalisation, and fails to enforce regulatory standards more robustly."
