Accident prevention is a common thread throughout every aspect of our society. However even with the most current technological developments keeping people safe and healthy both at workplaces and at other daily activities is still a continual challenge. When it comes to work environments ergonomics and human factors knowledge can play an important role and therefore must be included in or be a part of the safety management as a cross-disciplinary area concerned with the understanding of actual work situations and potential variables. This multidisciplinary approach will ultimately ensure the safety health and well-being of all collaborators. The main goal of this book is to present theories and models and to describe practices to foster and promote safer work and working environments. This book offers:· Examples of field practices that can be reproduced in other scenarios· Applications of new methods for risk assessment· Methods on how to apply and integrate human factors and ergonomics in accident prevention and safety management· Coverage of human factors and ergonomics in safety culture· New methods for accident analysisThis book is a compilation of contributions from invited authors organized in three main topics from eleven countries and is intended to cover specific aspects of safety and human factors management ranging from case studies to the development of theoretical models. Hopefully the works presented in the book can be an inspiration for translating research into useful actions and ultimately making a relevant and tangible contribution to the safety of our daily and work settings. | Ergonomics and Human Factors in Safety Management
