This article analyzes the consequences of the increasing reference to scientific expertise in the decision and implementation process of occupational health policy. Based on examples (exposure limits and attributable fractions) taken from an interdisciplinary seminar conducted in 2014 to 2015 in France, it shows how the measurement or regulation of a problem through biomedicine-based tools produces blind spots. It also uses a case study to show the contradictions between scientific and academic aims and public health intervention. Other indirect implications are also examined, such as the limitation of trade unions’ scope for action. Finally, the article suggests launching a broad political debate accessible to nonspecialists about collective occupational health issues—a dialogue made difficult by the rise of the afore-mentioned techno-scientific perspective.

Consumer Social Responsibility lässt eine freiwillige CO2-Kompensation von Fluggästen erwarten. Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand von Daten aus einer Onlinebefragung in Deutschland die Zahlungsbereitschaft hierfür. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass eine Unkenntnis über die Möglichkeiten der Kompensation, asymmetrische Informationen mit Mängeln in der Transparenz und eine unzureichende Glaubwürdigkeit der Kompensationsangebote die Befragten in ihrer Zahlungsbereitschaft negativ beeinflussen. Infolge einer Adversen Selektion wird die Verantwortungsübernahme der Fluggäste unterbunden.

Sign Language Interpreting

<div>"This Guide is intended for working interpreters, interpreting students and educators, and those who employ or purchase the services of interpreters. Occupational health education is essential for professionals in training, to avoid early attrition from practice. "Sign language interpreting" is considered to include interpretation between American Sign Language (ASL) and English, other spoken languages and corresponding sign languages, and between sign languages (e.g., Deaf Interpreters). Some of the occupational health issues may also apply equally to Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) reporters, oral interpreters, and intervenors. The reader is encouraged to make as much use as possible of the information provided here". -- Introduction.</div><div><br></div>
