  • The article looks at research on occupational safety at Chinese companies in the 2008-2011 period, focusing on the presence of politically well-connected executives as a factor in companies' safety records. The authors present a summary of their finding that companies with at least one executive with a history of high-level government employment had far high rates of worker fatalities. The role of provincial governments in workplace safety is discussed.
