Safety Differently: Human Factors for a New Era, Second Edition

AUTHOR Dekker, Sidney
PUBLISHER CRC Press (06/23/2014)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

The previous edition looked critically at the answers human factors would typically provide and compared/contrasted them with current research and insights at that time. Today, the unrelenting pace of technology change and growth of complexity calls for a different kind of safety thinking. This book explains how to turn safety from a bureaucratic accountability back into an ethical responsibility for those who do our dangerous work; how to embrace the human factor not as a problem to control, but as a solution to harness.
