Ergonomics and Human Factors in Safety Management: Industrial and Systems Engineering Series

Editat de Pedro Miguel Ferreira Martins Arezes, Paulo Victor Rodrigues de Carvalho
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 iun 2016
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 analysis
This 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.

Descriere

Accident prevention is a common thread throughout every workplace, yet keeping employee safety and health knowledge current is a continual challenge for all employers. Ergonomics and human factors knowledge 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 ensuring the safety, health, and wellbeing of all collaborators. The main goal of this new book is to present theories and describe practices to foster a safe work and working environment.
