Burnt bricks in rural South Africa fulfills the growing demands of urbanization and a rapidly growing population. Although the design, shape and weight of bricks have undergone numerous historical changes, the production technology has experienced very limited changes. Bricks are still prepared, processed and baked in the brick kiln. This book gives an insight into how working conditions in the fired brick kiln industry affect workers' health. It portrays; - How various categories of labour are subjected to physical, economic and social exploitation; - How the sector is a threat to the physical health and safety of workers; and - How the health and safety standards are violated in brick manufacturing industries. It is a comprehensive reference work for industrial relations practitioners. It is ideal for labour, mineral and energy departments, managerial practices, work organisations, unions and employer organisations.
