Abstract:
"The only way to ensure that accidents and their consequences are tackled at the source is to identify and eliminate the workplace risks before, rather than after the event. The ongoing identification of workplace and worker risk must become a value to an organization and must occur automatically, as part of the culture of the organization if accidental losses are to be eliminated. This book shows that an organization's safety culture is the driving force behind successful safety management systems that constantly identify and reduce risk thus eliminating accidents which lead to injuries, property damage or environmental disasters"-- Provided by publisher.
