Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Past studies have identified the failure to bring about significant change in occupational culture as a key problem with the deregulation of occupational health and safety. Research on organizational deviance in other milieus, such as the savings and loans industry, have also identified occupational culture and its historical and socio-economic conditions as factors that should be examined when state controls are removed from organizational environments. While the consequences of most white-collar forms of organizational deviance can be accounted for in economic terms, ineffective regulation of occupational health and safety may result in heightened risk for workers of the blue-collar variety. Workers in primary resource industries are at the greatest risk and have historically exhibited grossly elevated rates of serious injury and death. These industries are often characterized by deeply entrenched occupational cultures that shape the way workers deal with the dangers of their environment and negotiate the demands of regulatory controls. This paper examines a research project focusing on the British Columbia forestry industry that revealed widely varying levels of compliance with vital workplace regulations. The influence of the occupational culture was an important consideration in both the design and execution of the research, and in the recommendations flowing from the findings. Key attitudinal and behavioral patterns among workers and managers point to crucial obstacles that must be overcome by the industry if it is to be successful in navigating the developing deregulatory framework without increasing the risks for its workforce.
