Workers' Guide to Health and Safety is an easy to use, beautifully illustrated resource from Hesperian, the people who developed Where There is No Doctor, the "bible of basic health care.” The Workers’ Guide brings forward the issues that factory workers say affect them most, from poverty wages and violence to chemicals and ergonomic injuries, and will become an indispensable tool for workers, union leaders, students and teachers of labor studies and occupational health, factory managers, and nonprofit staff members of organizations that work with workers and their communities.

“Hesperian's new publication is an excellent resource in helping workers achieve safe and dignified jobs. The Workers' Guide to Health and Safety is full of innovative and sustainable ways for workers, employers, and consumers to make that right a reality."
-- Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Organization
