Book Description
Port work is still considered an occupation with very high accident rates. This essential code of practice, intended to replace both the second edition of the ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in Dock Work (1977) and the ILO Guide to Safety and Health in Dock Work (1976), provides valuable advice and assistance to all those charged with the management, operation, maintenance and development of ports and their safety. Offering many detailed technical illustrations and examples of good practice, the provisions of this code cover all aspects of port work where goods or passengers are loaded or unloaded to or from ships. It is not limited to international trade but applies equally to domestic operations, including those on inland waterways. New topics are: traffic and vehicular movements of all types; activities on shore and on ship; amended levels of lighting provision; personal protective equipment; ergonomics; provisions for disabled persons; and the specific handling of certain cargoes, for example logs, scrap metal and dangerous goods.

Book Description
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) may not imply changes in the immigration laws of its signatories, but it will make it easier for people to move freely among Canada, Mexico, and the United States. One of the concerns arising from NAFTA involves meeting the health care needs of people who move from one member country to another. The publication analyzes the legal implications of the access to health care by individuals from NAFTA countries who are temporarily working or residing in another member country. The book compares the health systems of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, focusing on their principles and objectives, legal framework, institutional structure, operational modalities, and outcomes. Detailing the similarities and differences among the systems of these three countries, this publication attempts to anticipate the treaty's potential benefit or detriment to access to health care services and examines the expectations and concerns that free trade generates in this respect.

Book Description
La economía política de la urbanización asume que las condiciones generales de la producción constituyen el determinante histórico fundamental de la concentración espacial del capital. En este libro, primero de una trilogía sobre el tema, se extiende esa categoría proponiendo la existencia del binomio condiciones y servicios generales de la producción, como un concepto más adecuado para comprender las aglomeraciones metropolitanas contemporáneas. En la primera parte de la obra se analiza la evolución de dicha categoría dentro de la teoría del capital, su desarrollo histórico mundial como andamiaje infraestructural, así como su definición, tipología y características. En la segunda parte se inicia un estudio empírico sobre el vínculo de la infraestructura con la competitividad urbana y, principalmente, la cuestión de su financiamiento en el caso de la Ciudad de México.
