This book examines how safety failings during the use of any
designed product or system-be it a car, a building, or a chemical
plant-can be mitigated through effective understanding of the
conditions and controls surrounding its use. Drawing on historical
failures and their own real-world experience, Dr Andy Painting and
David England explain how corporate culture, engineering safety,
personnel selection, and proper safety auditing are key ingredients
to maintaining safety in all aspects of an organization's
operations. This effective strategy is also crucial to linking back
to the design of future products in establishing where operational
failures have been identified and can therefore be "designed out"
in future iterations. The book challenges silo thinking among the
various safety-related disciplines and shows how this can be
counter-productive to effective safety management. Effectively
Managing the Case for Safety draws on key features from
engineering, design, and health and safety processes, which, when
used cohesively, promote a better working environment for everyone
and help to reduce wasted time, money, and effort for any
organization. Safety is tracked from the initial design stage
through any product's entire service life and includes evidence of
how safety affects, and is affected by, all those who interact with
a product, system, or project. Following their first book, An
Effective Strategy for Safe Design in Engineering and Construction,
which demonstrated how current construction regulations can be used
as a framework to ensure that safety is embedded into the design of
virtually any product from machinery to buildings, this follow up
book defines what safe is, how it is initially derived, and how the
operational safety of any product, during its in-use phase, can be
managed and assessed. The result is not only to ensure compliance
with relevant regulations but also to actively ensure the ongoing
safety of all those who interact with a product or project.
