TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Occupational health and safety from communist to capitalist structures JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Scheuch, K. A1 - Kundiev, Y. I. SP - 481 EP - 491 VL - 7 IS - 4 N2 - This article focuses on individual effects of the transformation from communist to capitalist structures in the system of occupational health and safety (OHS). Despite basic similarities among the communist nations the systems of OHS differed immensely. The political changes during transformation additionally contributed to varying opportunities for the development of OHS systems. Changes affecting the living and working conditions are significant and are demonstrated by the development of new work structures and work biographies. This is reflected in changed attitudes to demands and contents of work. No differences, however, were found between the employed and unemployed when asked about these issues. Conclusions for OHS in postcommunist states are drawn.
