Human Factors and Safety Culture

This title explores human behaviour in the context of workplace safety and risk management. Focused on understanding how people detect, interpret and respond to danger and how leaders can put safety at the heart of their organizations’ culture, it draws on the latest insights from disciplines such as cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology. Integrating traditional and emerging perspectives in the field of Occupational Health and Safety, this book delivers both a vision and the tools to elevate safety as a core organizational value able to motivate and anchor safe behaviours and reinforce safety‑oriented leadership.
