Riassunto

Understanding workplace health and safety can be a minefield and considering how the human can be placed at the heart of it adds another level of complexity to task that already has many factors. This book breaks down key practical aspects of the human factors-based approach to health and safety.

Unlike most of the existent human factors resources on the market today, which all require some fluency in the concepts and a certain level of pre-understanding, Operationalizing Twenty-First Century Safety: A Humancentric Practical Guide presents the material in a simple, easy-to-read language that does not require academic background or prior experience to ensure you can deliver lasting results. Revealing the science and psychology behind human factors and performance programs, this fascinating title challenges the status quo and questions why we adhere to certain safety practices without fully understanding them. It simplifies complex concepts, making them approachable for all, and features contributions from 11 authors, each offering a unique perspective into a different industry. The readers of this book will gain an understanding of the background and multi-faceted approaches that link human factors and workplace safety.

This book is written for professionals and practitioners at every career level of ergonomics and human factors, occupational health and safety, business and leadership, and any industry where workplace risk is significant.
